Linux kernel is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks. The vulnerability exists in an unknown code block in the library fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c of the component XFS File System because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandles ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form. A local attacker could set attributes on an xfs filesystem which would make the filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change.
