Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix inode use after free in ext4_end_io_rsv_work()
In ext4_io_end_defer_completion(), check if io_end->list_vec is empty to
avoid adding an io_end that requires no conversion to the
i_rsv_conversion_list, which in turn prevents starting an unnecessary
worker. An ext4_emergency_state() check is also added to avoid attempting
to abort the journal in an emergency state.
Additionally, ext4_put_io_end_defer() is refactored to call
ext4_io_end_defer_completion() directly instead of being open-coded.
This also prevents starting an unnecessary worker when EXT4_IO_END_FAILED
is set but data_err=abort is not enabled.
This ensures that the check in ext4_put_io_end_defer() is consistent with
the check in ext4_end_bio(). Otherwise, we might add an io_end to the
i_rsv_conversion_list and then call ext4_finish_bio(), after which the
inode could be freed before ext4_end_io_rsv_work() is called, triggering
a use-after-free issue.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: se corrige el uso de inodo use after free en ext4_end_io_rsv_work() En ext4_io_end_defer_completion(), se comprueba si io_end-\u0026gt;list_vec est\u00e1 vac\u00edo para evitar a\u00f1adir un io_end que no requiere conversi\u00f3n a i_rsv_conversion_list, lo que a su vez impide iniciar un trabajador innecesario. Tambi\u00e9n se a\u00f1ade una comprobaci\u00f3n ext4_emergency_state() para evitar intentar abortar el diario en un estado de emergencia. Adem\u00e1s, ext4_put_io_end_defer() se refactoriza para llamar a ext4_io_end_defer_completion() directamente en lugar de estar en c\u00f3digo abierto. Esto tambi\u00e9n impide iniciar un trabajador innecesario cuando EXT4_IO_END_FAILED est\u00e1 configurado pero data_err=abort no est\u00e1 habilitado. Esto garantiza que la comprobaci\u00f3n en ext4_put_io_end_defer() sea coherente con la comprobaci\u00f3n en ext4_end_bio(). De lo contrario, podr\u00edamos agregar un io_end a i_rsv_conversion_list y luego llamar a ext4_finish_bio(), despu\u00e9s de lo cual el inodo podr\u00eda liberarse antes de que se llame a ext4_end_io_rsv_work(), lo que desencadenar\u00eda un problema de use-after-free."
