In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vmalloc: fix buffer overflow in vrealloc_node_align()
Commit 4c5d3365882d ("mm/vmalloc: allow to set node and align in
vrealloc") added the ability to force a new allocation if the current
pointer is on the wrong NUMA node, or if an alignment constraint is not
met, even if the user is shrinking the allocation.
On this path (need_realloc), the code allocates a new object of 'size'
bytes and then memcpy()s 'old_size' bytes into it. If the request is to
shrink the object (size < old_size), this results in an out-of-bounds
write on the new buffer.
Fix this by bounding the copy length by the new allocation size.

kernel: vmalloc: fix buffer overflow in vrealloc_node_align()
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When shrinking a vmalloc allocation using the `vrealloc_node_align` function, if the requested new size is smaller than the old size, an out-of-bounds write can occur. This memory corruption vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges.
