In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: qcom: fix writes in read-only memory region This commit fixes a kernel oops because of a write in some read-only memory: [ 9.068287] Unable to handle kernel write to read-only memory at virtual address ffff800009240ad8 ..snip..
