Amazon Linux AMI: CVE-2024-39487: Security patch for kernel (ALAS-2025-1963)

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

bonding: Fix out-of-bounds read in bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set()

In function bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set(), if newval->string is an

empty string, newval->string+1 will point to the byte after the

string, causing an out-of-bound read.

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in strlen+0x7d/0xa0 lib/string.c:418

Read of size 1 at addr ffff8881119c4781 by task syz-executor665/8107

Fix it by adding a check of string length before using it.
