Oracle Linux: CVE-2022-48627: ELSA-2024-12606: Unbreakable Enterprise kernel security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vt: fix memory overlapping when deleting chars in the buffer A memory overlapping copy occurs when deleting a long line. This memory overlapping copy can cause data corruption when scr_memcpyw is optimized to memcpy because memcpy does not ensure its behavior if the destination buffer overlaps with the source buffer. The line buffer is not always broken, because the memcpy utilizes the hardware acceleration, whose result is not deterministic. Fix this problem by using replacing the scr_memcpyw with scr_memmovew. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's virtual terminal driver which causes a memory overlapping copy to occur, this overlapping copy can lead to data corruption and could potentially allow an attacker interacting with a virtual terminal to corrupt or expose system memory.
