Finally, add\nlt_size_check_overflow() helper and use it to consolidate this.\n\nWhile at it, replace leftover allocation using the GFP_KERNEL to\nGFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for consistency, in pipapo_resize().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43fe1181f738295624696ae9ff611790edb65b5e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4c5c6aa9967dbe55bd017bb509885928d0f31206","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91edc076439c9e2f34b176149f1c84a47a8ec32f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9e757473561da93c6a4136f0e59aba91ec777fc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c1360ac8156c0a3f2385baef91d8d26fd9d39701"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:04:28.436527499+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-38162","score":0.00184,"percentile":0.07909,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
