What to do

AI-suggested

The issue has been resolved in the Linux kernel source by disabling KASAN checks for non-current tasks on RISC-V, following the precedent set on x86. Users should monitor official Linux kernel advisories and update to the fixed kernel versions once available.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's RISC-V architecture stacktrace handling has been resolved. The issue involved KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer) checks being performed on non-current tasks during stack unwinding, which caused out-of-bounds errors. This vulnerability could lead to a high impact on confidentiality and availability. A similar issue on the x86 architecture was previously fixed, and the same solution has been applied to RISC-V. No affected versions or patch links are explicitly provided in the data.
