CVE-2024-53065 (Moderate severity, published 2024-11-18)
CVSS score: 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-125
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/slab: fix warning caused by duplicate kmem_cache creation in kmem_buckets_create

Commit b035f5a6d852 ("mm: slab: reduce the kmalloc() minimum alignment
if DMA bouncing possible") reduced ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to 8 on arm64.
However, with KASAN_HW_TAGS enabled, arch_slab_minalign() becomes 16.
This causes kmalloc_caches[*][8] to be aliased to kmalloc_caches[*][16],
resulting in kmem_buckets_create() attempting to create a kmem_cache for
size 16 twice. This duplication triggers warnings on boot:
