CVE-2024-27055 Affecting kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

workqueue: Don't call cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU in wq_update_node_max_active()

For wq_update_node_max_active(), @off_cpu of -1 indicates that no CPU is going down. The function was incorrectly calling cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU leading to oopses like the following on some archs:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff0002100296e0 .. pc : wq_update_node_max_active+0x50/0x1fc lr : wq_update_node_max_active+0x1f0/0x1fc ...
