CVE-2025-39866

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

fs: writeback: fix use-after-free in __mark_inode_dirty()

An use-after-free issue occurred when __mark_inode_dirty() get the
bdi_writeback that was in the progress of switching.

                                      old wb released
  wb_wakeup_delayed() accesses wb,
  then trigger the use-after-free
  issue

Fix this race condition by holding inode spinlock until
wb_wakeup_delayed() finished.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
