CVE-2022-50300 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:6.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-bootwrapper package and not the kernel-bootwrapper package as distributed by RHEL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix extent map use-after-free when handling missing device in read_one_chunk
Store the error code before freeing the extent_map. Though it's reference counted structure, in that function it's the first and last allocation so this would lead to a potential use-after-free.
The error can happen eg. when chunk is stored on a missing device and the degraded mount option is missing.
