CVE-2024-35871

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel affecting the RISC-V architecture, where the kernel global pointer gp can be leaked to user space. This issue occurs when a user-mode helper thread, such as /sbin/init starts a new process via execve without clearing the kernel registers, allowing...
