What to Know

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpu: hotplug: Preserve per instance callback errors

cpuhp_invoke_callback() unwinds earlier callbacks for the same

hotplug state when one instance fails. The rollback path currently

reuses ret, so a successful rollback can hide the original error and

make the failed transition look successful.

Keep the rollback result separate from the original error. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Linux's web page for any future patch releases.
