Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-20 18:02:22 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

qibfs: fix _another_ leak

failure to allocate inode => leaked dentry...

this one had been there since the initial merge; to be fair,
if we are that far OOM, the odds of failing at that particular
allocation are low...
