Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rust_binder component related to oneway spam detection has been fixed. The flaw involved the spam detection logic in TreeRange being executed before the current request was inserted, causing the new request to be excluded from spam calculations. Additionally, the ArrayRange detection logic was missing, allowing large spamming transactions to evade detection. The fix involves reordering the detection logic and implementing equivalent spam detection for ArrayRange.
