[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak

syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in
do_sys_name_to_handle() and issued the following report [1].

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to
solve the problem.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26901 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
