Go to dashboardIn the Linux kernel's IPE policy code, a newly loaded policy can be freed by a concurrent delete while it is still being audited. The sources describe a use-after-free, which can crash the kernel or be turned into memory corruption.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipe: fix use-after-free when auditing a newly loaded policy
new_policy() audits the policy after ipe_new_policyfs_node() publishes it and drops the new directory's inode lock. A concurrent delete can free the policy while ipe_audit_policy_load() is still using it.
Audit the successful load under that lock.
