      <title>CVE-2021-47493 — ocfs2: fix race between searching chunks and release journal_head from buffer_head</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2021-47493</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ocfs2: fix race between searching chunks and release journal_head from buffer_head&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Encountered a race between ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() and
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() resulting in the below vmcore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PID: 106879  TASK: ffff880244ba9c00  CPU: 2   COMMAND: &amp;#34;loop3&amp;#34;

for the bit &amp;#39;BH_JournalHead&amp;#39; to fix this race.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
