Descriptions

In the Linux kernel before 5.15.3, fs/quota/quota_tree.c does not validate the block number in the quota tree (on disk). This can, for example, lead to a kernel/locking/rwsem.c use-after-free if there is a corrupted quota file.

En el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.15.3, el archivo fs/quota/quota_tree.c no comprueba el número de bloque en el árbol de cuotas (en disco). Esto puede, por ejemplo, conllevar a un uso de memoria previamente liberada del archivo kernel/locking/rwsem.c si se presenta un archivo de cuotas corrupto
