kernel: vfs: missing detection of hardlinks in vfs_rename() on overlayfs

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...
