Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-68150)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-68150). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount
do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers()
with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before
calling the callback and releases it afterwards. However, the
callback do_thaw_all_callback() calls thaw_super_locked() which
unconditionally releases s_umount on every code path. This results
in a second unlock attempt in __iterate_supers() that corrupts the
rwsem state, triggering a DEBUG_RWSEMS warning:
