CVE-2024-31076 is a resource-leak flaw in Linux kernel genirq CPU-hotplug and x86 interrupt-vector handling. When an interrupt affinity change is deferred, an interrupt first runs on its original CPU, and the original CPU is subsequently offlined before the interrupt next runs on its newly assigned CPU, the prior interrupt vector may not be reclaimed from the old CPU's vector matrix. The affected cleanup paths can instead clear move-tracking state without freeing the previous vector. The fix forces completion of pending interrupt moves before CPU-offline affinity fixup evaluation and adds defensive reclamation in vector cleanup scheduling.
