{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54067","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  btrfs: fix race when deleting free space root from the dirty cow roots list  When deleting the free space tree we are deleting the free space root from the list fs_info-\u003edirty_cowonly_roots without taking the lock that protects it, which is struct btrfs_fs_info::trans_lock. This unsynchronized list manipulation may cause chaos if there's another concurrent manipulation of this list, such as when adding a root to it with ctree.c:add_root_to_dirty_list().  This can result in all sorts of weird failures caused by a race, such as the following crash:    [337571.278245] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000108: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI   [337571.278933] CPU: 1 PID: 115447 Comm: btrfs Tainted: G        W          6.4.0-rc6-btrfs-next-134+ #1   [337571.279153] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.14.0-0-g155821a1990b-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014   [337571.279572] RIP: 0010:commit_cowonly_roots+0x11f/0x250 [btrfs]   [337571.279928] Code: 85 38 06 00 (...)
