In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Avoid mounting the bdev pseudo-filesystem in userspace
The bdev pseudo-filesystem is an internal kernel filesystem with which userspace should not interfere. Unregister it so that userspace cannot even attempt to mount it.
This fixes a bug [1] that occurs when attempting to access files,
because the system call movemount() uses pointers declared in the
inodeoperations structure, which for the bdev pseudo-filesystem
are always equal to 0. inode->i_op = &empty_iops;
