CVE-2024-47710

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58

Description A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved by adding a cond resched() in sock hash free(). This issue was identified through several syzbot soft lockup reports that all had in common the sock hash free() function. When a map with a large number of buckets is destroyed, the CPU needs to yield when necessary to prevent soft lockups.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.6.58, update to version 6.6.58 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing measures to prevent the destruction of large maps, but this should not be considered a permanent solution.
