Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-42080
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a potential invalid address access in the RDMA/restrack component of the Linux kernel. Specifically, the `kern name` of the `struct rdma restrack entry` is set to `KBUILD MODNAME` in `ib create cq()`, which can cause an invalid address access in `rdma restrack clean()` when printing the owner of the `rdma restrack entry`. This code was used to help find a forgotten PD release in one of the ULPs but is no longer needed. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
