  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  afs: Fix the locking used by afs_get_link()  The afs filesystem in the kernel doesn\u0027t do locking correctly for symbolic links.  There are a number of problems:   (1) It doesn\u0027t do any locking around afs_read_single() to prevent races      between multiple -\u003Eget_link() calls, thereby allowing the possibility      of leaks.   (2) It doesn\u0027t use RCU barriering when accessing the buffer pointers      during RCU pathwalk.   (3) It can race with another thread updating the contents of the symlink      if a third party updated it on the server.  Fix this by the following means:   (0) Move symlink handling into its own file as this makes it more      complicated.   (1) Take the validate_lock around afs_read_single() to prevent races      between multiple -\u003Eget_link() calls.   (2) Keep a separate copy of the symlink contents with an rcu_head.  This      is always going to be a lot smaller than a page, so it can be      kmalloc\u0027d and save quite a bit of memory.  It also needs a refcount      for non-RCU pathwalk.   (3) Split the symlink read and write-to-cache routines in afs from those      for directories.   (4) Discard the I/O buffer as soon as the write-to-cache completes as this      is a full page (plus a folio_queue).   (5) If there\u0027s no cache, discard the I/O buffer immediately after reading      and copying if there is no cache.",
