Details

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

gfs2: fix double destroy_workqueue error

When gfs2fillsuper() fails, destroyworkqueue() is called within gfs2glhashclear(), 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.
