Summary
inotify: Avoid reporting event with invalid wd
Details

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

inotify: Avoid reporting event with invalid wd

When inotifyfreeingmark() races with inotifyhandleinodeevent() it can happen that inotifyhandleinodeevent() sees that i_mark->wd got already reset to -1 and reports this value to userspace which can confuse the inotify listener. Avoid the problem by validating that wd is sensible (and pretend the mark got removed before the event got generated otherwise).
