Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A race condition has been identified in the Linux kernel's page allocator, specifically in the handling of unaccepted memory. The issue arises from the use of static branch enc/dec() to track the number of zones with unaccepted memory, which is not properly serialized against the addition or removal of unaccepted pages. This problem can lead to warnings and potential issues, although its effect is currently only visible in microbenchmarks.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
