**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A issue in the Linux kernel has been identified, related to the 9p protocol. The problem occurs because the protocol version check is performed after obtaining a fid, which can lead to a fid refcount leak in the v9fs vfs get link function. To address this, the version check is moved to an earlier point. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
