  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ngpu/buddy: bail out of try_harder when alignment cannot be honoured\n\nThe try_harder contiguous fallback could return a range whose start\noffset did not match the caller's min_block_size. When a candidate's\nstart is misaligned, realign it: free the misaligned run and reallocate\nexactly @size at the next lower min_block_size boundary. This keeps the\nreturned size unchanged with no surplus to trim, and rejects the request\nonly when no aligned candidate fits.\n\nv2: align misaligned candidates down to min_block_size instead of\n    bailing out, for both the RHS and LHS paths (Matthew).",
