What it is

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

powerpc/uaccess: correct check for CONFIG_PPC_E500 in mask_user_address()

mask_user_address() incorrectly checks for CONFIG_E500 instead of

CONFIG_PPC_E500, causing mask_user_address_isel() to not be used on

E500 hardware. Fix the check to use the correct name.
