From: Vasiliy Kovalev <kovalev@altlinux.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.14-rc5 commit c84e125fff2615b4d9c259e762596134eddd2f27 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IBWVT6 CVE: CVE-2025-21887 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- The issue was caused by dput(upper) being called before ovl_dentry_update_reval(), while upper->d_flags was still accessed in ovl_dentry_remote(). Move dput(upper) after its last use to prevent use-after-free.
