Summary
CVE-2024-49954 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.173.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staticcall: Replace pointless WARNON() in staticcallmodule_notify()

staticcallmodulenotify() triggers a WARNON(), when memory allocation fails in _staticcalladdmodule().

That's not really justified, because the failure case must be correctly handled by the well known call chain and the error code is passed through to the initiating userspace application.

A memory allocation fail is not a fatal problem, but the WARNON() takes the machine out when panicon_warn is set.

Replace it with a pr_warn().
