Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description: The issue is related to a netns refcount leak in the devlink nl cmd reload() function. This leak occurs because some error paths forget to release a refcount on a netns. The problem can be fixed by reducing the scope of the get net()/put net() section around the call to devlink reload(). This vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to confidential information.
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
