Description:
 An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the Linux kernel before
 4.18. A use after free exists, related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure.
Ubuntu-Description:
 It was discovered that the XFS file system in the Linux kernel did not
 properly handle mount failures in some situations. A local attacker could
 possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute
 arbitrary code.
