CVE-2024-38570

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel within the gfs2 component, where potential use-after-free issues could occur on unmount. When DLM lockspaces are released with remaining locks, callbacks for asynchronous lock contention may access freed objects, causing unexpected behavior.

This vulnerability is rated as a moderate severity due to its localized impact. Exploitation requires specific conditions during unmount, affecting stability without extensive security risks, as it impacts only the file system’s lock management on unmount.
