Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-04-16 15:02:45 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

spufs: fix a leak in spufs_create_context()

Leak fixes back in 2008 missed one case - if we are trying to set affinity
and spufs_mkdir() fails, we need to drop the reference to neighbor.
