CVE-2023-52852

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

f2fs: compress: fix to avoid use-after-free on dic

Call trace:

In f2fs_read_multi_pages(), once f2fs_decompress_cluster() was called if
we hit cached page in compress_inode's cache, dic may be released, it needs
break the loop rather than continuing it, in order to avoid accessing
invalid dic pointer.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
