In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix side-effect bug in match_char() macro usage
The match_char() macro evaluates its character parameter multiple
times when traversing differential encoding chains. When invoked
with *str++, the string pointer advances on each iteration of the
inner do-while loop, causing the DFA to check different characters
at each iteration and therefore skip input characters.
This results in out-of-bounds reads when the pointer advances past
the input buffer boundary.

Fix by extracting the character value before invoking match_char,
ensuring single evaluation per outer loop.
