Hello Team,

A violation of memory access flaw was found while detecting a padding of
int3 in the linking state in function can_optimize in
arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/opt.c. In this problem a local attacker with a
special user privilege may cause a threat to a system Integrity and
Confidentiality, and may even lead to a denial of service problem.
