What it is

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

btrfs: don't use btrfs_set_item_key_safe on RAID stripe-extents

Don't use btrfs_set_item_key_safe() to modify the keys in the RAID

stripe-tree, as this can lead to corruption of the tree, which is caught

by the checks in btrfs_set_item_key_safe():

While the root cause of the tree order corruption isn't clear, using

btrfs_duplicate_item() to copy the item and then adjusting both the key

and the per-device physical addresses is a safe way to counter this

problem.
