What to Know

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

afs: Fix the volume AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE is set on

Fix afs_insert_volume_into_cell() to set AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE on the volume

replaced, not the new volume, as it's now removed from the cell's volume

tree. This will cause the old volume to be removed from the tree twice and

the new volume never to be removed. (NVD)

What to Do

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