SUSE CVE-2025-40179

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: verify orphan file size is not too big In principle orphan file can be arbitrarily large. However orphan replay needs to traverse it all and we also pin all its buffers in memory. Thus filesystems with absurdly large orphan...

CVE-2025-40179

CVE-2025-40179 concerns the Linux kernel’s ext4 filesystem. The issue arises from how orphan files are replayed: an orphan file can be arbitrarily large, and replay requires traversing it and pinning its buffers in memory, which can lead to excessive memory consumption on filesystems with very la...
