In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix race when deleting quota root from the dirty cow roots list

When disabling quotas we are deleting the quota root from the list
fs_info->dirty_cowonly_roots without taking the lock that protects it,
which is struct btrfs_fs_info::trans_lock. This unsynchronized list
manipulation may cause chaos if there's another concurrent manipulation
of this list, such as when adding a root to it with
ctree.c:add_root_to_dirty_list().

This can result in all sorts of weird failures caused by a race, such as
the following crash:

So fix this by locking struct btrfs_fs_info::trans_lock before deleting
the quota root from that list.
