A patch is available that corrects the pointer rebasing issue in the ocfs2 locking_state debugfs iterator. Users should apply the official Linux kernel updates that include this fix. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ocfs2 filesystem locking_state debugfs iterator was resolved. The issue involved improper handling of copied fsdlm LVB pointers, which could lead to accessing freed memory during debugfs dumps. This flaw was fixed by rebasing pointers to ensure safe access to copied data without referencing freed memory.
