NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug-modules-core package and not the kernel-rt-debug-modules-core 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:

sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier

On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall slowdowns for everything. So put a lock on the path in order to serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.
