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

    fs/netfs/read_collect: add to next->prev_donated

    If multiple subrequests donate data to the same “next” request
    (depending on the subrequest completion order), each of them would
    overwrite the `prev_donated` field, causing data corruption and a
    BUG() crash (“Can’t donate prior to front”).
