kernel: fsnotify: Fix ordering of iput() and watched_objects decrement

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An improper reference counting order in the filesystem notification fsnotify subsystem allows a local user to trigger a race condition during object cleanup. This issue leads to a use-after-free condition, where the system attempts to access memory that has...

kernel: fanotify: fix false positive on permission events

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's fanotify subsystem. This vulnerability allows for a bypass of permission checks because the fsnotifygetmarksafe function may incorrectly return false for marks on unrelated groups. This could enable an attacker to perform unauthorized actions by circumventin...
