NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. Only if patch 9a2544037600 ("ovl: fix use after free in struct ovl_aio_req") not applied yet, the kernel could be affected.
