kernel: race condition between direct and memory-mapped I/O in fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c

It was found that the Linux kernel can hit a BUGON statement in the xfsgetblocks in the fs/xfs/xfsaops.c because of a race condition between direct and memory-mapped I/O associated with a hole in a file that is handled with BUGON instead of an I/O failure. This allows a local unprivileged attacke...

A flaw was found that the vfsrename function did not detect hard links on overlayfs. A local, unprivileged user could use the rename syscall on overlayfs on top of xfs to crash the system...

Linux kernel XFS subsystem denial of service vulnerability

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the operating system Linux, released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in the XFS subsystem in Linux kernel versions 4.8.2 and earlier. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service...

Fedora 21 : xfsprogs-3.2.2-2.fc21 (2015-12406)

Gabriel Vlasiu reported that xfsmetadump, part of the xfsprogs suite of tools for the XFS filesystem, did not properly obfuscate data. xfsmetadump properly obfuscates active metadata, but the rest of the space within that fs block comes through in the clear. This could lead to exposure of stale...
