In case a race\nis detacted, try dat_entry_walk() again.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27554b9505ddfc0aeab466aeb60929dfa17284c7","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c958f0498891203fddf2764b28f8b102c6bfd719","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
