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

dlm: fix dlmrecovermembers refcount on error

If dlmrecovermembers() fails we don't drop the references of the previous created rootlist that holds and keep all rsbs alive during the recovery. It might be not an unlikely event because pingmembers() could run into an -EINTR if another recovery progress was triggered again.
