Summary

In the Linux kernel btrfs filesystem, mark_block_group_to_copy() iterates over the commit root without locking, leading to a use-after-free during concurrent transaction commits. The fix uses path->need_commit_sem to protect the commit root search.

Risk Assessment

Concurrent btrfs operations may lead to data corruption or system crashes, potentially resulting in loss of data integrity.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix for btrfs commit root semaphore.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: take commit root semaphore when iterating in mark_block_group_to_copy() mark_block_group_to_copy() iterates over the commit root with skip_locking=true. A concurrent transaction commit can swap and free the commit root during iteration, causing use-after-free when accessing extent buffers. Fix it by using path->need_commit_sem to protect the commit root search.
