Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: enetc: Fix illegal access when reading affinity_hint irq_set_affinity_hit() stores a reference to the cpumask_t parameter in the irq descriptor, and that reference can be accessed later from irq_affinity_hint_proc_show(). Since the cpu_mask parameter passed to irq_set_affinity_hit() has only temporary storage (it's on the stack memory), later accesses to it are illegal. Thus reads from the corresponding procfs affinity_hint file can result in paging request oops. The issue is fixed by the get_cpu_mask() helper, which provides a permanent storage for the cpumask_t parameter.

Dado que el par\u00e1metro cpu_mask pasado a irq_set_affinity_hit() solo tiene almacenamiento temporal (est\u00e1 en la memoria de la pila), los accesos posteriores a \u00e9l son ilegales. Por lo tanto, las lecturas del archivo procfs affinity_hint correspondiente pueden dar como resultado una solicitud de paginaci\u00f3n.
