CVE-2024-53174

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SUNRPC (Sun Remote Procedure Call) subsystem. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by reading RPC cache entries, triggering a use-after-free condition where memory is accessed after being marked for release. This issue occurs because the cache display mechanism fails to ensure an entry is active before incrementing its reference count, leading to an unexpected system crash or potential memory leak.
