    Linux Kernel CVE-2023-53254 Fix: Safer Cacheinfo Shared CPU Map

    The Linux kernel fix for cacheinfo’s shared_cpu_map exposes a subtle but real threat vector that can lead to slab out‑of‑bounds memory access on systems where CPUs have non‑uniform cache hierarchies, and operators must treat CVE‑2023‑53254 as a high‑priority stability and correctness issue that...
