CVE-2022-49917

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

ipvs: fix WARNING in ip_vs_app_net_cleanup()

During the initialization of ip_vs_app_net_init(), if file ip_vs_app fails to be created, the initialization is successful by default. Therefore, the ip_vs_app file doesn't be found during the remove in ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(). It will cause WRNING.

The following is the stack information: name 'ip_vs_app' WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 9 at fs/proc/generic.c:712 remove_proc_entry+0x389/0x460 Modules linked in: Workqueue: netns cleanup_net RIP: 0010:remove_proc_entry+0x389/0x460 Call Trace: <TASK> ops_exit_list+0x125/0x170 cleanup_net+0x4ea/0xb00 process_one_work+0x9bf/0x1710 worker_thread+0x665/0x1080 kthread+0x2e4/0x3a0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 </TASK>

A missing check in ip_vs_app_net_init() could lead to a warning in ip_vs_app_net_cleanup() when the procfs entry is not created. This is a benign cleanup-time issue that only affects privileged kernel namespace teardown logic and cannot be triggered by unprivileged users.
