[OE-core][PATCH v2 07/10] cve-exclusion: set status for CVE-2023-3397

[Junjie Cao <junjie.cao@linux.dev>]

txEnd() in fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c reads the log pointer from the superblock
info, drops TXN_LOCK and then takes log->gclock, while lmLogClose() can
free that log during umount.

The subsystem in the public CVE data is misleading: the "slub"
association comes from the KASAN slab report, but the affected code is
JFS. Red Hat's own title for the issue is "slab-use-after-free write in
txend due to race condition".

A fix adding a new mutex was posted, reviewed, and then withdrawn by its
author, who wrote "I think my fix method is not a good solution":

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230515095956.17898-1-zyytlz.wz@163.com/

No other fix has been posted, and the sequence in txEnd() is unchanged
in mainline as of linux-next 20260727. syzkaller was still reporting
"KASAN: slab-use-after-free Write in txEnd" in June 2026.

Ubuntu records "unfixed upstream as of 2023-09-01"; Debian lists
src:linux as vulnerable in every suite:

  https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-3397
  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-3397

CONFIG_JFS_FS=n in both ktypes/standard/standard.cfg and
ktypes/preempt-rt/preempt-rt.cfg in yocto-kernel-cache, and no fragment
there enables it; the only other occurrence is CONFIG_JFS_SECURITY in
the selinux feature, which has no effect without JFS_FS.

changes in v2:
- split out of the single combined patch, one CVE per patch as requested
- added primary source links (disclosures, distribution trackers, mailing
  list threads, upstream commits) to every commit message
- added the three CVEs with no upstream fix as "unpatched" entries instead
  of leaving them undocumented
- disclosed AI assistance per the contributor guide
