CVE-2022-48699

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 5.13-5.15.68, 5.16-5.19.9 - Use-After-Free in Scheduler Debugfs

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/debug: fix dentry leak in update_sched_domain_debugfs Kuyo reports that the pattern of using debugfs_remove(debugfs_lookup()) leaks a dentry and with a hotplug stress test, the machine eventually runs out of memory. Fix this up by using the newly created debugfs_lookup_and_remove() call instead which properly handles the dentry reference counting logic.
