It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.", "title": "tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers", "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols, syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to do so. Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for histograms and caused a bug.
