In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

quota: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

Below race may cause NULL pointer dereference

P1 P2
dquot_free_inode quota_off
drop_dquot_ref
remove_dquot_ref
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
srcu_read_lock
dquots[cnt]) != NULL (1)
dquots[type] = NULL (2)
spin_lock(&dquots[cnt]->dq_dqb_lock) (3)
....

If dquot_free_inode(or other routines) checks inode's quota pointers (1)
before quota_off sets it to NULL(2) and use it (3) after that, NULL pointer
dereference will be triggered.

So let's fix it by using a temporary pointer to avoid this issue.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: cuota: corrige una posible desreferencia del puntero NULL La siguiente carrera puede causar una desreferencia del puntero NULL P1 P2 dquot_free_inode quote_off drop_dquot_ref remove_dquot_ref dquots = i_dquot(inode) dquots = i_dquot(inode) srcu_read_lock dquots[cnt]) != NULL (1) dquots[tipo] = NULL (2) spin_lock(&dquots[cnt]->dq_dqb_lock) (3) .... Si dquot_free_inode(u otras rutinas) verifica los punteros de cuota del inodo (1) antes de que cuota_off lo establezca a NULL(2) y usarlo (3) después de eso, se activará la desreferencia del puntero NULL. Entonces, solucionémoslo usando un puntero temporal para evitar este problema.
