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

    btrfs: do not ASSERT() if the newly created subvolume already got read

    [BUG]
    There is a syzbot crash, triggered by the ASSERT() during subvolume
    creation:

     assertion failed: !anon_dev, in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c:1319
     ------------[ cut here ]------------

    [CAUSE]
    During create_subvol(), after inserting root item for the newly created
    subvolume, we would trigger btrfs_get_new_fs_root() to get the
    btrfs_root of that subvolume.

    The idea here is, we have preallocated an anonymous device number for
    the subvolume, thus we can assign it to the new subvolume.

    But there is really nothing preventing things like backref walk to read
    the new subvolume.
    If that happens before we call btrfs_get_new_fs_root(), the subvolume
    would be read out, with a new anonymous device number assigned already.

    In that case, we would trigger ASSERT(), as we really expect no one to
    read out that subvolume (which is not yet accessible from the fs).
    But things like backref walk is still possible to trigger the read on
    the subvolume.

    Thus our assumption on the ASSERT() is not correct in the first place.

    [FIX]
    Fix it by removing the ASSERT(), and just free the @anon_dev, reset it
    to 0, and continue.

    If the subvolume tree is read out by something else, it should have
    already get a new anon_dev assigned thus we only need to free the
    preallocated one.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
