More badly, the use of WARN() rather confuses fuzzer as if\nit were serious issues.\n\nThis patch downgrades the warning messages to use the normal dev_err()\ninstead of WARN().  For making it clearer, add the function name to\nthe prefix, too.","affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"a135dfb5de1501327895729b4f513370d2555b4d"},{"fixed":"4e5a92a7223c83c1f5f2db6cd010ac9347948972"},{"fixed":"365ee29e559269cbb2108c4cc05dd8e262b4e84e"},{"fixed":"d5a1ca7b59804d6779644001a878ed925a4688ca"},{"fixed":"36c0764474b637bbee498806485bed524cad486b"},{"fixed":"b2e538a9827dd04ab5273bf4be8eb2edb84357b0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-56657.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.13.0"},{"fixed":"5.15.209"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.16.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.175"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.67"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-56657.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/365ee29e559269cbb2108c4cc05dd8e262b4e84e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36c0764474b637bbee498806485bed524cad486b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e5a92a7223c83c1f5f2db6cd010ac9347948972"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b2e538a9827dd04ab5273bf4be8eb2edb84357b0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d5a1ca7b59804d6779644001a878ed925a4688ca"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/56xxx/CVE-2024-56657.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-56657"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/56xxx/CVE-2024-56657.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
