In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup/cpuset: Don't access cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root in is_in_v2_mode()
After seeing the patch [1] to guard is_in_v2_mode() with RCU, it makes
me realize that is_in_v2_mode() may be called in a context where a new
cgroup filesystem is being rebound with stale cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root
pointer. Avoid this potential UaF situation by adding a new cpuset_v2_mode
flag which is set when the cpuset_v2_mode mount option is used. This
flag is written into only when cpuset_bind() is being called with a
stable cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root value. The is_in_v2_mode() helper is
modified to read the new cpuset_v2_mode flag instead of accessing
cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root directly.
