In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vduse: return compat ioctl results directly
The compat handler handles VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD and VDUSE_VQ_GET_INFO, but
then calls the native handler. Their different command sizes make native
dispatch return -ENOIOCTLCMD.
For GET_FD, this overwrites receive_fd()'s return value after the
descriptor is installed, leaking one fd per call. Return handled compat
results directly and use native dispatch only for other commands.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
