In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning
It turns out that SLUB redzoning (“slub_debug=Z”) checks from
s->object_size rather than from s->inuse (which is normally bumped to
make room for the freelist pointer), so a cache created with an object
size less than 24 would have the freelist pointer written beyond
s->object_size, causing the redzone to be corrupted by the freelist
pointer. This was very visible with “slub_debug=ZF”:

Adjust the offset to stay within s->object_size.
(Note that no caches of in this size range are known to exist in the
kernel currently.)
