Important: kernel

Issue Overview:

A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on struct net_device, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing between the free on the struct and the access through the skbtxq global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or potential code execution. (CVE-2023-6270)

In rds_recv_track_latency in net/rds/af_rds.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.1, there is an off-by-one error for an RDS_MSG_RX_DGRAM_TRACE_MAX comparison, resulting in out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2024-23849)
