Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix root leak if its reloc root is unexpected in merge_reloc_roots()
If we have an unexpected reloc_root for our root, we jump to the out label
but never drop the reference we obtained for root, resulting in a leak.
Add a missing btrfs_put_root() call.
A flaw was found in the btrfs filesystem component of the Linux kernel. An unexpected relocation root in the merge_reloc_roots() function can lead to a resource leak. This occurs because a reference to the root is not properly released, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service due to resource exhaustion.
Отчет
This issue affects systems using the Btrfs file system during balance/relocation operations. If merge_reloc_roots() encounters an unexpected relocation root, it exits without releasing a reference on the root structure, leaking memory. Over time this can contribute to resource exhaustion on affected workloads.
