Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.43
Description
The vulnerability is related to the
sclp init() function in the Linux kernel, which fails to properly clean up when it encounters an error. This can lead to the sclp state change event being added multiple times to the sclp reg list, resulting in a warning. The issue is caused by a resource management error in the sclp init() function. Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a denial of service.Recommendations
To resolve the issue, update the Linux kernel to version 6.6.43 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
sclp init() function until a patch is available. However, this may have unintended consequences and should be carefully evaluated before implementation.
At the moment, there is no information about other versions that contain a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
