CVE-2020-36766: Linux Kernel

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8.6. drivers/media/cec/core/cec-api.c leaks one byte of kernel memory on specific hardware to unprivileged users, because of directly assigning log_addrs with a hole in the struct.
