kernel: powerpc/pseries: Enforce hcall result buffer validity and size

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's powerpc/pseries architecture, where certain hypercall functions did not properly enforce the validity and size of result buffers provided by callers, lead to stack corruption if the buffer is too small, as the lack of compiler checks allows for...

kernel: powerpc: Fix access beyond end of drmem array

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically affecting the PowerPC architecture's pseries memory hotplug functionality. The issue arises from the dlparmemoryremovebyindex function, which may access memory beyond the bounds of the drmem logical memory block LMB array when it fails to find a...
