CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's rxrpc_recvmsg() function, which improperly retains a reference to an already-released call when the MSG_PEEK flag is used. This can lead to a resource leak, potentially impacting system stability and performance. Linux system administrators and developers should prioritize this fix to ensure the integrity and efficiency of their applications relying on the affected kernel functionality.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix leak of released call in recvmsg(MSG_PEEK) Fix rxrpc_recvmsg() to also drop the ref it holds on an already-released call if MSG_PEEK is in force (the function holds a ref on the call irrespective of whether MSG_PEEK is specified or not).
