CVE-2021-46958 (2021)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix race between transaction aborts and fsyncs leading to use-after-free

There is a race between a task aborting a transaction during a commit,
a task doing an fsync and the transaction kthread, which leads to an
use-after-free of the log root tree. When this happens, it results in a
stack trace like the following:

  BTRFS info (device dm-0): forced readonly
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
  BTRFS: error (device dm-0) in cleanup_transaction:1958: errno=-5 IO failure
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): lost page write due to IO error on /dev/mapper/error-test (-5)
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0xa4e8 len 4096 err no 10
  BTRFS error (device dm-0): error writing primary super block to device 1
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0x12e000 len 4096 err no 10
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0x12e008 len 4096 err no 10
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0x12e010 len 4096 err no 10
  BTRFS: error (device dm-0) in write_all_supers:4110: errno=-5 IO failure (1 errors while writing supers)

The steps that lead to this crash are the following:

1) We are at transaction N;

2) We have two tasks with a transaction handle attached to transaction N.
   Task A and Task B. Task B is doing an fsync;

3) Task B is at btrfs_sync_log(), and has saved fs_info->log_root_tree
   into a local variable named 'log_root_tree' at the top of
   btrfs_sync_log(). Task B is about to call write_all_supers(), but
   before that...

4) Task A calls btrfs_commit_transaction(), and after it sets the
   transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, an error happens before
   it w
