Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-43867
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A refcount underflow issue has been resolved in the Linux kernel. The issue occurs when `nouveau bo ref()` is called on a `nouveau bo` without initializing it, leading to a refcount underflow. To fix this, the code now cleans up manually instead of calling `nouveau bo ref()` in the unwind path of `drm gem object init()`.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
