Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-10-21 19:03:41 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gfs2: fix double destroy_workqueue error

When gfs2_fill_super() fails, destroy_workqueue() is called within
gfs2_gl_hash_clear(), and the subsequent code path calls
destroy_workqueue() on the same work queue again.

This issue can be fixed by setting the work queue pointer to NULL after
the first destroy_workqueue() call and checking for a NULL pointer
before attempting to destroy the work queue again.
