This results in a use-after-free when the\ntracepoint accesses lo's fields.\n\nFix this by moving the tracepoint call before pnfs_put_layout_hdr(lo).\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
