In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: use kvfree() for replaced sysctl write buffer

proc_sys_call_handler() allocates its temporary sysctl buffer with kvzalloc() and passes it to __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl(). Since kvzalloc() may fall back to vmalloc() for large allocations, freeing that buff
