CVE-2024-56597

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74

Description A shift-out-of-bounds error in the dbSplit function has been resolved. The issue occurs when dmt budmin is less than zero, causing errors in later stages. A check has been added to return an error beforehand in the dbAllocCtl function.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding a check to ensure dmt budmin is not less than zero before proceeding with the dbSplit function.
