Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/kmemleak: fix sleeping function called from invalid context at print message Address a bug in the kernel that triggers a "sleeping function called from
invalid context" warning when /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak is printed under
specific conditions:
- CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
- Set SELinux as the LSM for the system
- Set kptr_restrict to 1
- kmemleak buffer contains at least one item BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

%pK service in certain contexts. %pS alone already provides the necessary information, and if it cannot
resolve the symbol, it falls back to printing the raw address voiding
the original intent behind the %pK. Additionally, %pK requires a privilege check CAP_SYSLOG enforced through
the LSM, which can trigger a "sleeping function called from invalid
context" warning under RT_PREEMPT kernels when the check occurs in an
atomic context. This issue may also affect other LSMs. This change avoids the unnecessary privilege check and resolves the
sleeping function warning without any loss of information.

Además, %pK requiere una verificación de privilegios CAP_SYSLOG aplicada a través del LSM, que puede activar una advertencia de "función inactiva llamada desde un contexto no válido" en kernels RT_PREEMPT cuando la verificación ocurre en un contexto atómico. Este problema también puede afectar a otros LSM. Este cambio evita la verificación de privilegios innecesaria y resuelve la advertencia de función inactiva sin ninguna pérdida de información.
