Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
erofs: fix use-after-free on sbi->sync_decompress<br />
<br />
z_erofs_decompress_kickoff() can race with filesystem unmount, causing<br />
a use-after-free on sbi->sync_decompress.<br />
<br />
When I/O completes, z_erofs_endio() calls z_erofs_decompress_kickoff()<br />
to queue z_erofs_decompressqueue_work() asynchronously. Then, after all<br />
folios are unlocked, unmount workflow can proceed and sbi will be freed<br />
before accessing to sbi->sync_decompress.<br />
