Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-38629
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to the unnecessary destruction of `file ida` in the Linux kernel, specifically in the `dmaengine` subsystem. This can lead to accessing an id in `file ida` after it has been destroyed, resulting in a kernel panic. The problem occurs because `ida free()` in `cdev` release may happen after the destruction of `file ida` per WQ `cdev`.
**Recommendations**
To address this issue, remove the `ida destroy(&file ida)` call to prevent unnecessary destruction of `file ida`. Update to a version of the Linux kernel that includes this fix, such as version 6.6.37 or later.
