CVE-2026-72169

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's 'kho' component, responsible for memory management. When a user specifies fixed scratch sizes via the command line, these sizes are not consistently aligned to 'CMAMINALIGNMENTBYTES'. This can result in the kernel releasing a pageblock that is only partially...
