However,\nbrelse() is called by udf_rename(), too.  So, b_count on buffer_head\nbecomes unbalanced.\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by not calling brelse() by udf_rename()\nwhen udf_find_entry() returns NULL.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/090bf49833c51da297ec74f98ad2bf44daea9311","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/156d440dea97deada629bb51cb17887abd862605","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/40dba68d418237b1ae2beaa06d46a94dd946278e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fca09045509f5bde8fc28e68fbca38cb4bdcf2e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/78eba2778ae10fb2a9d450e14d26eb6f6bf1f906"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-50755","score":0.00211,"percentile":0.11229,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
