Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-24 18:13:07 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gfs2: prevent NULL pointer dereference during unmount

When flushing out outstanding glock work during an unmount, gfs2_log_flush()
can be called when sdp->sd_jdesc has already been deallocated and sdp->sd_jdesc
is NULL.  Commit 35264909e9d1 ("gfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in
gfs2_log_flush") added a check for that to gfs2_log_flush() itself, but it
missed the sdp->sd_jdesc dereference in gfs2_log_release().  Fix that.
