What is known
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/md-bitmap: fix incorrect usage for sb_index Commit d7038f951828 ("md-bitmap: don't use ->index for pages backing the bitmap file") removed page->index from bitmap code, but left wrong code logic for clustered-md. current code never set slot offset for cluster nodes, will sometimes cause crash in clustered env.

Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-35787, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
