AI-suggested
A fix is available and has been applied in the Linux kernel. Systems should update to the fixed versions identified by commits e33e2718c62a602001ab549642a1aed0be797105 and 041d1a568a11a7ed7415ef1408d0c65041c1ad69 to remediate this issue.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's syscall tracing mechanism was addressed by changing the copying method for faultable syscall buffers to use copy_from_user() instead of __copy_from_user(). This ensures that non-user addresses are rejected and recorded as faults, preventing potential security concerns related to trusting perf too much.
