Linux kernel code issue vulnerability (CNVD-2024-06235)

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. A code issue vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel that stems from vhost_new_msg in drivers/vhost/vhost.c failing to properly initialize memory in messages passed between a virtual client and the host operating system, which could be exploited by a locally-privileged attacker to read the contents of certain kernel memory.
