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

    fs/buffer: fix use-after-free when call bh_read() helper

    There's issue as follows:
    BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in end_buffer_read_sync+0xe3/0x110

     Above issue happens when do ntfs3 filesystem mount, issue may happens
     as follows:
               mount                            IRQ
    ntfs_fill_super
      read_cache_page

             do_mpage_readpage
              ntfs_get_block_vbo
               bh_read
                 submit_bh
                 wait_on_buffer(bh);
                                        blk_complete_reqs
                                         scsi_io_completion
                                          scsi_end_request
                                           blk_update_request
                                            end_bio_bh_io_sync
                                             end_buffer_read_sync
                                              __end_buffer_read_notouch
                                               unlock_buffer

                wait_on_buffer(bh);--> return will return to caller

                                              put_bh
                                                --> trigger stack-out-of-bounds
    In the mpage_read_folio() function, the stack variable 'map_bh' is
    passed to ntfs_get_block_vbo(). Once unlock_buffer() unlocks and
    wait_on_buffer() returns to continue processing, the stack variable
    is likely to be reclaimed. Consequently, during the end_buffer_read_sync()
    process, calling put_bh() may result in stack overrun.

    If the bh is not allocated on the stack, it belongs to a folio.  Freeing
    a buffer head which belongs to a folio is done by drop_buffers() which
    will fail to free buffers which are still locked.  So it is safe to call
    put_bh() before __end_buffer_read_notouch().

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.");
