[oss-security] CVE-2024-50217: Linux kernel: btrfs: Use-after-free of block device file in __btrfs_free_extra_devids()

[ake...@akendo.eu]

Hey everyone,

Not too sure how or whom to ask about: But I saw that there is CVE-2024-50217 
that affects every kernel since 4.8.

However, it is only fixed on more recent version of the linux kernel like 6.11 
or 6.12. Any reason this wasn’t backported to older kernel versions?


Best regards,
Akendo
