Title
jbd2: fix potential use-after-free in jbd2_fc_wait_bufs
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jbd2: fix potential use-after-free in jbd2_fc_wait_bufs In 'jbd2_fc_wait_bufs' use 'bh' after put buffer head reference count which may lead to use-after-free. So judge buffer if uptodate before put buffer head reference count.
Severity

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
