"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: avoid overflows in dirty throttling logic The dirty throttling
logic is interspersed with assumptions that dirty limits in PAGE_SIZE
units fit into 32-bit (so that various multiplications fit into
64-bits). If limits end up being larger, we will hit overflows,
possible divisions by 0 etc. Fix these problems by never allowing so
large dirty limits as they have dubious practical value anyway. For
dirty_bytes / dirty_background_bytes interfaces we can just refuse to
set so large limits. For dirty_ratio / dirty_background_ratio it isn't
so simple as the dirty limit is computed from the amount of available
memory which can change due to memory hotplug etc. So when converting
dirty limits from ratios to numbers of pages, we just don't allow the
result to exceed UINT_MAX. This is root-only triggerable problem which
occurs when the operator sets dirty limits to >16 TB.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
