CVE-2024-57885
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: fix sleeping function called from invalid context at print message
Address a bug in the kernel that triggers a "sleeping function called from invalid context" warning when /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak is printed under specific conditions: - CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y - Set SELinux as the LSM for the system - Set kptr_restrict to 1 - kmemleak buffer contains at least one item
%pS and %pK, in the same back trace line, are redundant, and %pS can void %pK service in certain contexts.
%pS alone already provides the necessary information, and if it cannot resolve the symbol, it falls back to printing the raw address voiding the original intent behind the %pK.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Additionally, %pK requires a privilege check CAP_SYSLOG enforced through the LSM, which can trigger a "sleeping function called from invalid context" warning under RT_PREEMPT kernels when the check occurs in an atomic context. This issue may also affect other LSMs.
This change avoids the unnecessary privilege check and resolves the sleeping function warning without any loss of information.
