Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: BPF: Fix jump offset
 calculation in tailcall The extra pass of bpf_int_jit_compile() skips JIT context initialization which
 essentially skips offset calculation leaving out_offset = -1, so the jmp_offset in emit_bpf_tail_call is
 calculated by "#define jmp_offset (out_offset - (cur_offset))" is a negative number, which is wrong. The
 final generated assembly are as follow. 54: bgeu $a2, $t1, -8 # 0x0000004c 58: addi.d $a6, $s5, -1 5c:
 bltz $a6, -16 # 0x0000004c 60: alsl.d $t2, $a2, $a1, 0x3 64: ld.d $t2, $t2, 264 68: beq $t2, $zero, -28 #
 0x0000004c Before apply this patch, the follow test case will reveal soft lock issues. cd
