cve 2024 42080

CVE-2024-42080 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's RDMA resource-tracking code that could lead to an invalid address access and, under certain conditions, a kernel crash. The issue was addressed by removing a dangling reference in the Restrack patch. Microsoft's advisory lists Azure Linux as a product that includes the affected open-source library, but this is an attestation of inventory and does not rule out other Microsoft products potentially containing the same vulnerable code. Discussions on WindowsForum clarify the scope of the advisory and emphasize that the fix is part of ongoing kernel maintenance. Users interested in Linux kernel security, Azure Linux, or RDMA subsystems may find this tag relevant.
