In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix failure to rebuild free space tree using multiple transactions If we are rebuilding a free space tree, while modifying the free space tree we may need to allocate a new metadata block group. If we end up using multiple transactions for the rebuild, when we call btrfs_end_transaction() we enter btrfs_create_pending_block_groups() which calls add_block_group_free_space() to add items to the free space tree for the block group. Then later during the free space tree rebuild, at btrfs_rebuild_free_space_tree(), we may find such new block groups and call populate_free_space_tree() for them, which fails with -EEXIST because there are already items in the free space tree. Then we abort the transaction with -EEXIST at
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when linux ships something exploited.
