CVSS 3.1
8.2 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:HCVE-2019-19770
In the Linux kernel 4.19.83, there is a use-after-free (read) in the debugfs_remove function in fs/debugfs/inode.c (which is used to remove a file or directory in debugfs that was previously created with a call to another debugfs function such as debugfs_create_file). NOTE: Linux kernel developers dispute this issue as not being an issue with debugfs, instead this is an issue with misuse of debugfs within blktrace
