CVE-2024-38583

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

Description A use-after-free issue has been reported regarding the timer sc timer on the nilfs sc info structure. The problem is that even though it is used to wake up a sleeping log writer thread, sc timer is not shut down until the nilfs sc info structure is about to be freed, and is used regardless of the thread's lifetime. This issue is part of a bug fix series that covers three nilfs2 log writer-related issues, including a potential deadlock issue on unmount and a potential freeze issue in event synchronization.

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