In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix enomem handling in buffered reads
If netfs_read_to_pagecache() gets an error from either ->prepare_read() or
from netfs_prepare_read_iterator(), it needs to decrement ->nr_outstanding,
cancel the subrequest and break out of the issuing loop. Currently, it
only does this for two of the cases, but there are two more that aren't
handled.
Fix this by moving the handling to a common place and jumping to it from
all four places. This is in preference to inserting a wrapper around
netfs_prepare_read_iterator() as proposed by Dmitry Antipov[1].
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's network filesystem (netfs) subsystem. This flaw allows a local user to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) due to improper error handling during buffered read operations. When the kernel encounters memory allocation errors during read preparation, it fails to cancel subrequests and decrement outstanding request counters. This incomplete cleanup can cause read operations to hang, destabilizing the system.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having Low severity because triggering it requires transient memory allocation failures during network-backed file reads by a local user. An attacker cannot easily force out-of-memory conditions deterministically, significantly limiting reproducibility and practical exploitability. Additionally, older production releases such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 lack the affected upstream changes, further constraining overall enterprise exposure.
