Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:



bfq: Update cgroup information before merging bio



When the process is migrated to a different cgroup (or in case of


writeback just starts submitting bios associated with a different


cgroup) bfq_merge_bio() can operate with stale cgroup information in


bic. Thus the bio can be merged to a request from a different cgroup or


it can result in merging of bfqqs for different cgroups or bfqqs of


already dead cgroups and causing possible use-after-free issues. Fix the


problem by updating cgroup information in bfq_merge_bio().
