In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_rename_dir_prepare

We got issue as follows:

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

ext4_rename_dir_prepare: [4] ino=2
ext4_rename_dir_prepare: ent->dir->i_ino=2 parent=-757071872

Reason is first directory entry which 'rec_len' is 34478, then will get illegal
parent entry. Now, we do not check directory entry after read directory block
in 'ext4_get_first_dir_block'.
To solve this issue, check directory entry in 'ext4_get_first_dir_block'.

[ Trigger an ext4_error() instead of just warning if the directory is
missing a '.' or '..' entry. Also make sure we return an error code
if the file system is corrupted. -TYT ]
