CVE-2023-53838

A race condition was found in the F2FS filesystem's atomic write abort handling in the Linux kernel. Concurrent atomic write abort operations lack proper synchronization, which can lead to inconsistent COW (copy-on-write) inode state and potential use-after-free or data corruption scenarios.

F2FS is primarily used on flash storage devices in mobile and embedded systems. Enterprise server deployments typically use ext4 or XFS, limiting exposure to this vulnerability.
