Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-47693
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58
**Description**
The issue is related to the IB/core component of the Linux kernel, where an error in `ib cache update` causes an instant exit from `ib cache setup one` without proper cleanup, leading to a kernel warning. The warning is triggered when `gid table release one` is called. To fix the issue, proper cleanup using `gid table cleanup one` is necessary before returning the error.
**Recommendations**
Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.58 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `ib cache setup one` function until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the vulnerable `gid table release one` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
