Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel's KVM s390 breakpoint code is affected from version 3.16 until fixed in the 5.10.273, 5.15.221, 6.1.188 and 6.6.157 stable releases. A user-space program using KVM can supply a breakpoint length that bypasses the size check, triggering an oversized allocation and a kernel warning. Upgrade to 5.10.273, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157 or a later release.
