CVE-2024-44954 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel-devel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel package and not the kernel-devel 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:
ALSA: line6: Fix racy access to midibuf
There can be concurrent accesses to line6 midibuf from both the URB completion callback and the rawmidi API access. This could be a cause of KMSAN warning triggered by syzkaller below (so put as reported-by here).
This patch protects the midibuf call of the former code path with a spinlock for avoiding the possible races.
