CVE-2024-36923

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue arises when an iget fails due to the inability to retrieve information from the server, resulting in a partially initialized inode structure. Upon eviction, references are made to uninitialized structures, such as fscache cookies. A patch has been applied to check for a bad inode before clearing the inode from the cache, as a bad inode should not have any associated state that needs to be written back.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
