| Name | CVE-2024-38583 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix use-after-free of timer for log writer thread
Patch series "nilfs2: fix log writer related issues".
This bug fix series covers three nilfs2 log writer-related issues,
including a timer use-after-free issue and potential deadlock issue on
unmount, and a potential freeze issue in event synchronization found
during their analysis. Details are described in each commit log.
This patch (of 3):
A use-after-free issue has been reported regarding the timer sc_timer on
the nilfs_sc_info structure.
The problem is that even though it is used to wake up a sleeping log
writer thread, sc_timer is not shut down until the nilfs_sc_info structure
is about to be freed, and is used regardless of the thread's lifetime.
Fix this issue by limiting the use of sc_timer only while the log writer
thread is alive. |
