Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ipmi: Rework user message limit handling<br /> <br /> The limit on the number of user messages had a number of issues,<br /> improper counting in some cases and a use after free.<br /> <br /> Restructure how this is all done to handle more in the receive message<br /> allocation routine, so all refcouting and user message limit counts<br /> are done in that routine. It&amp;#39;s a lot cleaner and safer.
