Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting LoongArch architecture was fixed to prevent an array overflow in acpi_package_ids[]. This issue occurs in virtual machines configured with one core per socket and up to 256 sockets, where the PPTT ACPI table causes the array to overflow. The fix involved adjusting the array size to the maximum values of MAX_PACKAGES and KVM_MAX_VCPUS. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.4, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
