Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-41020 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 4.7 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filelock: Fix fcntl/close race recovery compat path
When I wrote commit 3cad1bc01041 ("filelock: Remove locks reliably when
fcntl/close race is detected"), I missed that there are two copies of the
code I was patching: The normal version, and the version for 64-bit offsets
on 32-bit kernels.
Thanks to Greg KH for stumbling over this while doing the stable
backport...
Apply exactly the same fix to the compat path for 32-bit kernels.
