In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free of block device file in __btrfs_free_extra_devids()
Mounting btrfs from two images (which have the same one fsid and two
different dev_uuids) in certain executing order may trigger an UAF for
variable 'device->bdev_file' in __btrfs_free_extra_devids(). And
following are the details:
1. Attach image_1 to loop0, attach image_2 to loop1, and scan btrfs
devices by ioctl(BTRFS_IOC_SCAN_DEV):
/ btrfs_device_1 → loop0
fs_device
\ btrfs_device_2 → loop1
2. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
btrfs_open_devices
btrfs_device_1->bdev_file = btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(loop0)
btrfs_device_2->bdev_file = btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(loop1)
btrfs_fill_super
open_ctree
fail: btrfs_close_devices // -ENOMEM
btrfs_close_bdev(btrfs_device_1)
fput(btrfs_device_1->bdev_file)
// btrfs_device_1->bdev_file is freed
btrfs_close_bdev(btrfs_device_2)
fput(btrfs_device_2->bdev_file)
3. mount /dev/loop1 /mnt
btrfs_open_devices
btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(&bdev_file)
// EIO, btrfs_device_1->bdev_file is not assigned,
// which points to a freed memory area
btrfs_device_2->bdev_file = btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(loop1)
btrfs_fill_super
open_ctree
btrfs_free_extra_devids
if (btrfs_device_1->bdev_file)
fput(btrfs_device_1->bdev_file) // UAF !
Fix it by setting 'device->bdev_file' as 'NULL' after closing the
btrfs_device in btrfs_close_one_device().Data is provided by the National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
