Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ima: Fix use-after-free on a dentry's dname.name ->d_name.name can change on rename and the earlier value can be freed;
there are conditions sufficient to stabilize it (->d_lock on dentry,
->d_lock on its parent, ->i_rwsem exclusive on the parent's inode,
rename_lock), but none of those are met at any of the sites. Take a stable
snapshot of the name instead.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ima: corrige el use-after-free en dentry dname.name ->d_name.name puede cambiar al cambiar el nombre y el valor anterior se puede liberar; existen condiciones suficientes para estabilizarlo (->d_lock on dentry, ->d_lock on its parent, ->i_rwsem exclusivo en el inodo del padre, rename_lock), pero ninguna de ellas se cumple en ninguno de los sitios. En su lugar, tome una instantánea estable del nombre.

Take a stable snapshot of the name instead.

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
