- powerpc/uaccess: correct check for CONFIG_PPC_E500 in mask_user_address()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/uaccess: correct check for CONFIGPPCE500 in maskuseraddress()
maskuseraddress() incorrectly checks for CONFIGE500 instead of CONFIGPPCE500, causing maskuseraddressisel() to not be used on E500 hardware. Fix the check to use the correct name.
