CVE-2023-52583

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue is related to a deadlock or deadcode in the Linux kernel's ceph component, caused by incorrect lock ordering between denty and its parent. The lock order is incorrect, and the parent should always get the lock first. However, since this deadcode is never used and the parent directory will always be set from the callers, the solution is to remove it. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
