Description:
 In the Linux kernel 5.3.10, there is a use-after-free (read) in the
 perf_trace_lock_acquire function (related to include/trace/events/lock.h).
Ubuntu-Description:
 Tristan Madani discovered that the file locking implementation in the Linux
 kernel contained a race condition. A local attacker could possibly use this
 to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information.
Notes:
 sbeattie> first attempted fix was
   6d390e4b5d48ec03bb87e63cf0a2bff5f4e116da but that showed
   performance issues in synthetic benchmarks, more complex fix is
   dcf23ac3e846ca0cf626c155a0e3fcbbcf4fae8a
 sbeattie> may be introduced by
   16306a61d3b7c433c7a127ec6224867b88ece687
 sbeattie> no confirmation that the fixes listed actually address the
   reporter's issue
 sbeattie> the conservative fix for this issue may be to just apply
