NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-64k-debug package and not the kernel-rt-64k-debug package as distributed by Centos.

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

bpf: prevent leak of lsm program after failed attach

In [0], we added the ability to bpf_prog_attach LSM programs to cgroups, but in our validation to make sure the prog is meant to be attached to BPF_LSM_CGROUP, we return too early if the check fails. This results in lack of decrementing prog's refcnt (through bpf_prog_put) leaving the LSM program alive past the point of the expected lifecycle. This fix allows for the decrement to take place.
