Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: Change to kvalloc() in eventlog/acpi.c
The following failure was reported on HPE ProLiant D320:

The above transcript shows that ACPI pointed a 16 MiB buffer for the log events because RSI maps to the 'order' parameter of __alloc_pages_noprof(). Address the bug by moving from devm_kmalloc() to devm_add_action() and kvmalloc() and devm_add_action().
