Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description A use-after-free issue exists within the nilfs2 file system during the unmount process. Specifically, the nilfs root structure may be accessed after being freed, potentially leading to a...

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the way it handled the extra inode size for extended attributes. This flaw could allow a privileged local user to cause a system crash or other undefined behaviors.

Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: bpf: incorrect verifier pruning due to missing register precision taints, which may lead to out-of-band read/write access due to an incorrect verifier conclusion. CVE-2023-2163 A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the way it handled the...

The vulnerability of the inode_init_owner() function in the fs/inode.c file of the XFS file system’s kernel of the Linux operating system allows a malicious actor to escalate their privileges and gain access to protected information. It can also cause service interruptions.

The vulnerability of the inodeinitowner function in the fs/inode.c file of the XFS file system in the Linux operating system is related to the incorrect setting of access group attributes during file creation. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to enhance their privileges and gai...

kernel: gfs2: Always check inode size of inline inodes

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GFS2 filesystem. A local attacker with low privileges could craft a malicious GFS2 filesystem with an out-of-range inode size for inline inodes. This improper handling of inode sizes when reading from disk could lead to on-disk corruption, resulting in a...
