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.
