This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak to the 6.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: do_sys_name_to_handle-use-kzalloc-to-fix-kernel-info.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1abeb6f00936dad1cea929fc81affc9132d05504 Author: Nikita Zhandarovich <n.zhandarovich@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 19 07:39:06 2024 -0800 do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak [ Upstream commit 3948abaa4e2be938ccdfc289385a27342fb13d43 ] syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in do_sys_name_to_handle() and issued the following report [1].
