"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nconfigfs: pin the symlink target's dirent instead of chasing ->ci_dentry\n\ncreate_link() reads the target's configfs_dirent from\nitem->ci_dentry->d_fsdata, relying on the item reference taken by\nget_target(). That reference pins the item, not its dentry: the dentry is\npinned by DCACHE_PERSISTENT, which configfs_remove_dir() releases via\nsimple_rmdir() while the item is still alive. A symlink racing with rmdir\nof its target can therefore find ->ci_dentry freed and its dirent\nreleased, triggering WARN_ON(!atomic_read(&sd->s_count)) in configfs_get().\n\nTake the dirent in get_target() as well, under ->d_lock and atomically\nwith the item reference, and pass it down to create_link(). A hashed\ndentry has not been killed yet, so its ->d_fsdata reference keeps the\ndirent alive there."
