      <title>CVE-2024-56613 — sched/numa: fix memory leak due to the overwritten vma-&gt;numab_state</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-56613</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sched/numa: fix memory leak due to the overwritten vma-&amp;gt;numab_state&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Problem Description]
When running the hackbench program of LTP, the following memory leak is
reported by kmemleak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 20 thread 1000
  Running with 20*40 (== 800) tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# dmesg | grep kmemleak
  ...
