CVE-2026-43201CVE-2026-43201
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past allocated memory
If the BIOS generates a very small ARM Processor Error, or
an incomplete one, the current logic will fail to deferrence
err->section_length
and
ctx_info->size
Add checks to avoid that. With such changes, such GHESv2
records won't cause OOPSes like this:
