linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/netfs/read_collect: add to next->prev_donated

(depending on the subrequest completion order), each of them would
overwrite the `prev_donated` field, causing data corruption and a
BUG() crash ("Can't donate prior to front").
