      <title>CVE-2022-49995 — writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2022-49995</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;writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete.  However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since this requires wb-&amp;gt;work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb-&amp;gt;work_lock to an irqsafe lock.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
