CVE-2021-4149: lock held when returning to user space in __btrfs_tree_lock
A vulnerability was found in btrfs_alloc_tree_b in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel due to an improper lock operation in btrfs. In this flaw, a user with a local privilege may cause a denial of service (DOS) due to a deadlock problem.

Hello everyone! Great news for my open source Scanvus project! You can now perform vulnerability checks on Linux hosts and docker images not only using the Vulners.com API, but also with the Vulns.io VM API. It’s especially nice that all the code to support the new API was written and contributed by colleagues from Vulns.io. […]
Ubuntu Security Notice 5466-1 - It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to the kernel debugger when booted in secure boot environments.
