Commitefda1b5d87("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling") Introduced additional hardening for ambiguity in the ACPI spec for ars_status output sizing. However, it had a couple of cases mixed up. Where it should have been checking for (and returning) "out_field[1] - 4" it was using "out_field[1] - 8" and vice versa. This caused a four byte discrepancy in the buffer size passed on to the command handler, and in some cases, this caused memory corruption like: ./daxdev-errors.sh: line 76: 24104 Aborted (core dumped) ./daxdev-errors $busdev $region malloc(): memory corruption Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
