CVE-2024-26735
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: sr: fix possible use-after-free and null-ptr-deref The pernet operations structure for the subsystem must be registered before registering the generic netlink family.
CVE-2024-26993
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: sysfs: Fix reference leak in sysfs_break_active_protection() The sysfs_break_active_protection() routine has an obvious reference leak in its error path. If the call to kernfs_find_and_get() fails then kn will be NULL, so the companion sysfs_unbreak_active_protection() routine won't get called (and would only cause an access violation by trying to dereference kn->parent if it was called). As a result, the reference to kobj acquired at the start of the function will never be released. Fix the leak by adding an explicit kobject_put() call when kn is NULL.
