Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GFS2 file system. During filesystem shutdown, quota data objects were freed without being properly removed from the Least Recently Used (LRU) list. This oversight could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, where the system attempts to access memory that has already been released. Such a condition can cause system instability, crashes, or potentially allow a local attacker to escalate privileges or execute arbitrary code.
