CVE-2024-35929

This is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's RCU (Read-Copy Update) subsystem, specifically affecting configurations that enable lazy RCU operations (CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL and CONFIG_RCU_LAZY). Under certain conditions, operations like writing to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches could trigger warnings due to unsafe handling of the RCU nocb bypass queue. This issue may result in system instability or undefined behavior. The vulnerability has been resolved by improving how the nocb bypass queue is managed to ensure safer concurrency. Users should update to a patched kernel version to prevent potential disruptions.
