VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) openSUSE Tumbleweed versions prior to kernel-devel-7.0.11-1.1
Description A refcount leak occurs in the AFS (Andrew File System) implementation within the Linux kernel. This happens because the .mmap prepare() function is called at a stage where a merge or allocation failure may occur after the call, failing to release the refcount increment established during the invocation.
Recommendations Update to kernel-devel-7.0.11-1.1 for openSUSE Tumbleweed. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability for the Linux kernel.
