Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel fs/resctrl code, affected from 5.6 until fixed, has a race in rdtgroup_kn_put() that can cause a use-after-free of a resctrl group structure, which may then be freed twice. The source gives few details on what an attacker needs to trigger it. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114, or 6.18.52 or later in those series.
