"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipmi: Fix user refcount underflow in event delivery\n\nipmi_alloc_recv_msg(user) takes the temporary user reference owned by the\nreceive message, and ipmi_free_recv_msg() drops it again. If event delivery\nfails after allocating receive messages for earlier users,\nhandle_read_event_rsp() rolls those messages back with\nipmi_free_recv_msg().\n\nThat rollback path still drops user->refcount explicitly after freeing each\nmessage. The extra put can free a user that remains linked on intf->users,\nso later event delivery may dereference a freed user or trip refcount_t's\naddition-on-zero warning when ipmi_alloc_recv_msg() tries to acquire\nanother reference.\n\nRemove the stale explicit put and the now-dead user assignment. Keep the\nlist_del() and ipmi_free_recv_msg() calls; they are the required rollback\noperations."
