Description Pedro Sampaio 2021-11-23 12:40:45 UTC 
The block subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.14 mishandles reference counts, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impacts via a crafted user space program related to the disk object reference count.
