"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-50229 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix potential deadlock with
newly created symlinks Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers memory
reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in circular lock dependencies among the
reader/writer semaphore nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the fs_reclaim pseudo
lock. This is because after commit 21fc61c73c39 (don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem),
the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem().
This is not a problem for symlinks read from the backing device, because the __GFP_FS flag is dropped
after inode_nohighmem() is called. However, when a new symlink is created with nilfs_symlink(), the gfp
flags remain overwritten to GFP_KERNEL. Then, memory allocation called from page_symlink() etc. triggers
memory reclamation including the FS layer, which May call nilfs_evict_inode() or nilfs_dirty_inode(). And
these can cause a deadlock if they are called while nilfs->ns_segctor_sem is held: Fix this issue by
dropping the __GFP_FS flag from the page cache GFP flags of newly created symlinks in the same way that
nilfs_new_inode() and __nilfs_read_inode() do, as a workaround until we adopt nofs allocation scope
consistently or improve the locking constraints. (CVE-2024-50229)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
