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&#39;s a lot cleaner and safer.
