Title
reiserfs: Avoid touching renamed directory if parent does not change
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
reiserfs: Avoid touching renamed directory if parent does not change
The VFS will not be locking moved directory if its parent does not
change. Change reiserfs rename code to avoid touching renamed directory
if its parent does not change as without locking that can corrupt the
filesystem.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
