DEBIAN-CVE-2024-42272

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched: actct: take care of padding in struct zoneshtkey Blamed commit increased lookup key size from 2 bytes to 16 bytes, because zoneshtkey got a struct net pointer. Make sure rhashtablelookup is not using the padding bytes whic...
