Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix the volume AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE is set on
Fix afs_insert_volume_into_cell() to set AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE on the volume

tree. This will cause the old volume to be removed from the tree twice and
the new volume never to be removed.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
