Subject: CVE request Linux kernel: fs: btrfs: non-atomic xattr replace
 operation

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

    Hello,

Linux kernel built with the Btrfs Filesystem support(CONFIG_BTRFS_FS) is 
vulnerable to a race condition which leaves the extended attribute(xattr) 
empty for a short time window. This could be leveraged to bypass set ACLs and 
potentially escalate user privileges.

An unprivileged user could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges on 
a system.

Upstream fix:
- -------------
   -> https://git.kernel.org/linus/5f5bc6b1e2d5a6f827bc860ef2dc5b6f365d1339


Thank you.
