In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

VDUSE: avoid leaking information to userspace

The bounceing is not necessarily page aligned, so current VDUSE can
leak kernel information through mapping bounce pages to
userspace. Allocate bounce pages with __GFP_ZERO to avoid leaking
information to userspace.

No CVSS v4.0

No CVSS v3.1

No CVSS v3.0

No CVSS v2
