Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:01:44 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

srcu: Tighten cleanup_srcu_struct() GP checks

Currently, cleanup_srcu_struct() checks for a grace period in progress,
but it does not check for a grace period that has not yet started but
which might start at any time.  Such a situation could result in a
use-after-free bug, so this commit adds a check for a grace period that
is needed but not yet started to cleanup_srcu_struct().
