What to do
AI-suggested
A fix is available that ensures all percpu counters are destroyed if register_sysctl() returns NULL during svc_rdma_proc_init(). Users should apply the updated Linux kernel patches that address this issue. Since this is a kernel module-level fix, upgrading to a patched kernel version is the recommended remediation.
Description
CVE-2024-53215 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's svcrdma module where percpu counters initialized in svc_rdma_proc_init() may not be properly destroyed if register_sysctl() returns NULL. This can lead to memory leakage or kernel faults when the module is removed, especially if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.
