CVE-2024-26816

CVE-2024-26816 affects the Linux kernel on x86 where, when CONFIG_XEN_PV=y, .text symbols are emitted into the .notes section. Relocations in .notes were previously possible and could leak the KASLR base via /sys/kernel/notes. The fixes instruct the kernel to skip performing relocations in the .n...
