CVE-2023-53254 cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_map to handle shared caches at different levels

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cacheinfo: Fix sharedcpumap to handle shared caches at different levels The cacheinfo sets up the sharedcpumap by checking whether the caches with the same index are shared between CPUs. However, this will trigger...

[Haveged] A simple Entropy Daemon

The haveged project is an attempt to provide an easy-to-use, unpredictable random number generator based upon an adaptation of the HAVEGE algorithm. Haveged was created to remedy low-entropy conditions in the Linux random device that can occur under some workloads, especially on headless servers...
