Descriptions

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

padata: use integer wrap around to prevent deadlock on seq_nr overflow

When submitting more than 2^32 padata objects to padata_do_serial, the
current sorting implementation incorrectly sorts padata objects with
overflowed seq_nr, causing them to be placed before existing objects in
the reorder list. This leads to a deadlock in the serialization process
as padata_find_next cannot match padata->seq_nr and pd->processed
because the padata instance with overflowed seq_nr will be selected
next.

To fix this, we use an unsigned integer wrap around to correctly sort
padata objects in scenarios with integer overflow.
