CVE-2024-56749: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dlm: fix dlm_recover_members refcount on error If dlm_recover_members() fails we don't drop the references of the previous created root_list that holds and keep all rsbs alive during the recovery. It might be not an unlikely event because ping_members() could run into an -EINTR if another recovery progress was triggered again.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.10, before 6.11.11 (fixed in 6.11.11); from 6.12, before 6.12.2 (fixed in 6.12.2)
