Those rely on following\nfsverity_info::rhash_head in the rhashtable under rcu_read_lock() only.\nThey also use fsverity_info::inode to do the key comparison.\n\nFix this by RCU-delaying the freeing of 'struct fsverity_info' after\nit's been removed from the rhashtable.","cvssScore":7.8,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e58c3805ed325fe2d4ae2dd467c0486cc860b733","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fa84f091a8e7fc46fd29834496fab9739dd4c8dc","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
