CVE-2024-42147

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.43

Description A vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the crypto: hisilicon/debugfs module. The issue occurs during the zip probe process when debugfs initialization fails, causing the error branch to release regs repeatedly. To fix this, a null check needs to be added to the regs uninit process.

Recommendations Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.43 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding a null check to the regs uninit process to prevent repeated releases of regs.
