Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: protect references to superblock parameters exposed in sysfs
The superblock buffers of nilfs2 can not only be overwritten at runtime
for modifications/repairs, but they are also regularly swapped, replaced
during resizing, and even abandoned when degrading to one side due to
backing device issues. So, accessing them requires mutual exclusion using
the reader/writer semaphore "nilfs->ns_sem".
Some sysfs attribute show methods read this superblock buffer without the
necessary mutual exclusion, which can cause problems with pointer
dereferencing and memory access, so fix it.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nilfs2 filesystem. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit this vulnerability by reading the superblock buffer without proper mutual exclusion. This can lead to issues with pointer dereferencing and memory access, ultimately resulting in a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
