Oracle Linux: CVE-2023-52619: ELSA-2024-5101: kernel security update (IMPORTANT)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore/ram: Fix crash when setting number of cpus to an odd number
When the number of cpu cores is adjusted to 7 or other odd numbers,
the zone size will become an odd number.
The address of the zone will become:
addr of zone0 = BASE
addr of zone1 = BASE + zone_size
addr of zone2 = BASE + zone_size*2
...
The address of zone1/3/5/7 will be mapped to non-alignment va.
Eventually crashes will occur when accessing these va.
So, use ALIGN_DOWN() to make sure the zone size is even
to avoid this bug.
A vulnerability was found in the pstore/ram component of the Linux kernel, which caused crashes when the number of CPU cores was set to an odd number. This issue occurs because the odd-numbered zones became misaligned. This flaw allows a local, authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service.
