CVE-2024-56598

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74

Description The issue is related to an array-index-out-of-bounds fix in the dtReadFirst function of the jfs filesystem. The value of stbl can sometimes be out of bounds due to a bad filesystem, and a check has been added to return an error code in such cases.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding additional checks for filesystem integrity to minimize the risk of exploitation.
