What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix the volume AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE is set on Fix afs_insert_volume_into_cell() to set AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE on the volume replaced, not the new volume, as it's now removed from the cell's volume tree. This will cause the old volume to be removed from the tree twice and the new volume never to be removed.

Source: EUVD (ENISA), in the words of the advisory.

The versions shown are the advisory's own. Patchlage compares no version numbers and derives no judgement from them — which version is installed is something a person has to look up.

Does this concern one of your customers?

This page cannot answer that — it does not know your estate. Whoever has recorded their environments gets the answer the morning after publication, together with a paragraph they can forward to the customer unedited.

Patchlage reports hits and suspected hits. About everything else this system says nothing — neither this page nor the situation report ever claims that an estate is safe.
