Three of the callers were changed to use start_removing_dentry() which takes an extra reference so in those cases the call gets the expected references.</p> <p>However there is another call to cachefiles_bury_object() in cachefiles_cull() which did not need to be changed to use start_removing_dentry() and so was not properly considered. It still passed the dentry with just one reference so the net result is that a reference is lost.</p> <p>To meet the expectations of cachefiles_bury_object(), cachefiles_cull() must take an extra reference before the call. It will be dropped by cachefiles_bury_object().</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>cachefiles: fix incorrect dentry refcount in cachefiles_cull()</p> <p>The patch mentioned below changed cachefiles_bury_object() to expect 2 references to the &#39;rep&#39; dentry.
