Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 kernel-rt-modules to version 0:5.14.0-427.28.1.el9_4 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2024:4928.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-modules package and not the kernel-rt-modules 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:
epoll: be better about file lifetimes
epoll can call out to vfs_poll() with a file pointer that may race with the last 'fput()'. That would make f_count go down to zero, and while the ep->mtx locking means that the resulting file pointer tear-down will be blocked until the poll returns, it means that f_count is already dead, and any use of it won't actually get a reference to the file any more: it's dead regardless.
Make sure we have a valid ref on the file pointer before we call down to vfs_poll() from the epoll routines.
