Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/06854b943e0571ccbd7ad0a529babed1a98ff275 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32168ca1f123316848fffb85d059860adf3c409f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd89f79be5d553c78202f686e8e4caa5fbe94e98 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9185b3b1c143b8da409c19ac5a785aa18d67a81b https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43263fd43083e412311fa764cd04a727b0c6a749 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ad15e214fcd73694ea51967d86055f47b802066 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cede24d13be6c2a62be6d7ceea63c2719b0cfa82 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf9a40ae8d722f281a2721779595d6df1c33a0bf
