CVE-2024-27389

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue arises when unloading a modular pstore backend with records in pstorefs, triggering a dput() double-drop warning. This warning occurs due to the incorrect use of d drop() and dput() as mentioned in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst, leading to a reference counting problem. The solution involves using d invalidate() and updating the code to not check for error codes that can never happen.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
