CVE-2023-52681  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-401  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

efivarfs: Free s_fs_info on unmount

Now that we allocate a s_fs_info struct on fs context creation, we should ensure that we free it again when the superblock goes away.
