In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: fix leaked dentry
Since commit 6815f479ca90 ("ovl: use only uppermetacopy state in
ovl_lookup()"), overlayfs doesn't put temporary dentry when there is a
metacopy error, which leads to dentry leaks when shutting down the related
superblock:
overlayfs: refusing to follow metacopy origin for (/file0)
...
BUG: Dentry (____ptrval____){i=3f33,n=file3} still in use (1) [unmount of overlay overlay]
