Luego continuamos con la limpieza de la ruta de error en btrfs_balance() llamando a reset_balance_state() que llamar\u00e1 a del_balance_item() para eliminar por completo el elemento de balance en el \u00e1rbol ra\u00edz. Sin embargo, durante la peque\u00f1a ventana entre set_reloc_contrl() y unset_reloc_control(), podemos tener una actualizaci\u00f3n del \u00e1rbol de subvolumen y crear un reloc_root para ese subvolumen. Luego pasamos a la btrfs_commit_transaction() final de del_balance_item() y a btrfs_update_reloc_root() dentro de commit_fs_roots(). Esa funci\u00f3n verifica si fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl est\u00e1 en la etapa merge_reloc_tree, pero dado que fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl es NULL, da como resultado una desreferencia de puntero NULL.

El manejo de DEAD_RELOC_TREE sirve para evitar modificaciones adicionales del \u00e1rbol de reubicaci\u00f3n durante la etapa de fusi\u00f3n, pero como no hay ning\u00fan reloc_ctl, no tenemos que preocuparnos por eso."}], "id": "CVE-2024-49868", "lastModified": "2025-11-03T23:16:27.077", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}, "published": "2024-10-21T18:15:06.623", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1282f001cbf56e5dd6e90a18e205a566793f4be0"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/37fee9c220b92c3b7bf22b51c51dde5364e7590b"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/39356ec0e319ed07627b3a0f402d0608546509e6"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ad0c5868f2f0418619089513d95230c66cb7eb4"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c3b47f49e83197e8dffd023ec568403bcdbb774b"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d13249c0df7aab885acb149695f82c54c0822a70"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d73d48acf36f57362df7e4f9d76568168bf5e944"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc02c1440705e3451abd1c2c8114a5c1bb188e9f"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00002.html"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-476"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
