Nasty Linux kernel bug found and fixed

[RV_]

Excerpt:

"A heap overflow bug was recently discovered in the Linux kernel. The patch is available now in most major Linux distributions.

Most reported Linux "security" bugs actually aren't Linux bugs. For example, security vendor CrowdStrike's report on the biggest Linux-based malware families was really about system administration security blunders with telnet, SSH, and Docker, not Linux at all. But, that doesn't mean Linux doesn't have security holes.  For example, a new nasty Linux kernel problem has just popped up. "

The rest and details would only be of interest to Linux users and all of the details are here:
