Summary
CVE-2023-5717 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.137.1-1
Details

A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf) component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

If perfreadgroup() is called while an event's siblinglist is smaller than its child's siblinglist, it can increment or write to memory locations outside of the allocated buffer.

We recommend upgrading past commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06.
