Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/32: Fix hardlockup on vmap stack overflow Since the commit c118c7303ad5 ("powerpc/32: Fix vmap stack - Do not
activate MMU before reading task struct") a vmap stack overflow
results in a hard lockup. This is because emergency_ctx is still
addressed with its virtual address allthough data MMU is not active
anymore at that time. Fix it by using a physical address instead.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: powerpc/32: corrige el bloqueo físico en el desbordamiento de la pila de vmap Desde El commit c118c7303ad5 ("powerpc/32: corrige la pila de vmap - No activar MMU antes de leer la estructura de la tarea") un desbordamiento de la pila de vmap resulta en un bloqueo duro. Esto se debe a que Emergency_ctx todavía se aborda con su dirección virtual, aunque la MMU de datos ya no esté activa en ese momento. Solucionarlo utilizando una dirección física en su lugar.
