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

    USB: gadgetfs: Fix race between mounting and unmounting

    The syzbot fuzzer and Gerald Lee have identified a use-after-free bug
    in the gadgetfs driver, involving processes concurrently mounting and
    unmounting the gadgetfs filesystem.  In particular, gadgetfs_fill_super()
    can race with gadgetfs_kill_sb(), causing the latter to deallocate
    the_device while the former is using it.  The output from KASAN says,
    in part:

    The simplest solution is to ensure that gadgetfs_fill_super() and
    gadgetfs_kill_sb() are serialized by making them both acquire a new
    mutex.

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