CVE-2023-52797

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers: perf: Check find_first_bit() return value

We must check the return value of find_first_bit() before using the return value as an index array since it happens to overflow the array and then panic:

Weakness

The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions.
