Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-cgroup: Fix UAF in
blkcg_unpin_online() blkcg_unpin_online() walks up the blkcg hierarchy putting the online pin. To walk up,
it uses blkcg_parent(blkcg) but it was calling that after blkcg_destroy_blkgs(blkcg) which could free the
blkcg, leading to the following UAF: ==================================================================

trigger as the free path is indirected behind a couple RCU grace periods and a work item execution. I
could only trigger it with artifical msleep() injected in blkcg_unpin_online(). Fix it by reading the
parent pointer before destroying the blkcg's blkg's. (CVE-2024-56672)
