Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-40920 (Linux). CVSS 7.1 → 7.8 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: mst: fix suspicious rcu usage in br_mst_set_state
I converted br_mst_set_state to RCU to avoid a vlan use-after-free
but forgot to change the vlan group dereference helper. Switch to vlan
group RCU deref helper to fix the suspicious rcu usage warning.
