CVE-2024-35859 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: fix module reference leakage from bdev_open_by_dev error path At the time bdev_may_open() is called, module reference is grabbed already, hence module reference should be released if bdev_may_open() failed. This problem is found by code review.
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's block device management that involves improper handling of module references. When the function 'bdev_may_open()' is called, a module reference is already acquired. However, if 'bdev_may_open()' fails, the module reference is not released, leading to a leakage. This issue was discovered during a code review.
The vulnerability has been addressed in the official Linux Git repository. Users can download the patched version from the Linux kernel stable tree.
