- Description
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/pseries: Whitelist dtl slub object for copying to userspace Reading the dispatch trace log from /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dtl/cpu-* results in a BUG() when the config CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled as shown below. kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!

Dtl contains hypervisor dispatch events which are expected to be read by privileged users. Hence mark this safe for user access. Specify useroffset=0 and usersize=DISPATCH_LOG_BYTES to whitelist the entire object.
