Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 kernel-headers to version 0:5.14.0-427.26.1.el9_4 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2024:4583.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: fix list corruption from resetting io stat
Since commit 3b8cc6298724 ("blk-cgroup: Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()"), each iostat instance is added to blkcg percpu list, so blkcg_reset_stats() can't reset the stat instance by memset(), otherwise the llist may be corrupted.
Fix the issue by only resetting the counter part.
