CVE-2024-44959

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing With structure layout randomization enabled for 'struct inode' we need to avoid overlapping any of the RCU-used / initialized-only-once members, e.g. ilru or isblist to not...

CVE-2024-44959

CVE-2024-44959 targets the Linux kernel tracefs subsystem. The issue stems from a race condition in freeing inodes when structure layout randomization is enabled for 'struct inode', which risks overlapping RCU-used or one-time-initialized members (e.g., i_lru, i_sb_list) and can corrupt related l...
