Details

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

ext4: fix possible UAF when remounting r/o a mmp-protected file system

After commit 618f003199c6 ("ext4: fix memory leak in ext4fillsuper"), after the file system is remounted read-only, there is a race where the kmmpd thread can exit, causing sbi->smmptsk to point at freed memory, which the call to ext4stopmmpd() can trip over.

Fix this by only allowing kmmpd() to exit when it is stopped via ext4stopmmpd().
