CVE-2024-44959 at MITRE

Description

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

tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing

With structure layout randomization enabled for 'struct inode' we need to
avoid overlapping any of the RCU-used / initialized-only-once members,
e.g. i_lru or i_sb_list to not corrupt related list traversals when making
use of the rcu_head.

For an unlucky structure layout of 'struct inode' we may end up with the
following splat when running the ftrace selftests:

[<...>] list_del corruption, ffff888103ee2cb0->next (tracefs_inode_cache+0x0/0x4e0 [slab object]) is NULL (prev is tracefs_inode_cache+0x78/0x4e0 [slab object])
