Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> nilfs2: protect references to superblock parameters exposed in sysfs<br /> <br /> The superblock buffers of nilfs2 can not only be overwritten at runtime<br /> for modifications/repairs, but they are also regularly swapped, replaced<br /> during resizing, and even abandoned when degrading to one side due to<br /> backing device issues. So, accessing them requires mutual exclusion using<br /> the reader/writer semaphore "nilfs-&gt;ns_sem".<br /> <br /> Some sysfs attribute show methods read this superblock buffer without the<br /> necessary mutual exclusion, which can cause problems with pointer<br /> dereferencing and memory access, so fix it.
