CVE-2019-19770

kernel: use-after-free in debugfs_remove in fs/debugfs/inode.c

Published Dec 12, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 8.2 High EPSS 2.4% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel 4.19.83, there is a use-after-free (read) in the debugfs_remove function in fs/debugfs/inode.c (which is used to remove a file or directory in debugfs that was previously created with a call to another debugfs function such as debugfs_create_file). NOTE: Linux kernel developers dispute this issue as not being an issue with debugfs, instead this is an issue with misuse of debugfs within blktrace
