CVE-2024-40972: Improper Locking

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: do not create EA inode under buffer lock ext4xattrsetentry creates new EA inodes while holding buffer lock on the external xattr block. This is problematic as it nests all the allocation locking which acquires locks on othe...
