CVE-2023-52569

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

Description The issue is related to the btrfs component of the Linux kernel, where a vulnerability in the btrfs insert delayed dir index() function could lead to a denial of service. Instead of calling BUG() when a delayed dir index item fails to be inserted, the resources allocated are released and an error is returned to the caller. This change prevents hitting a BUG() but does not fix the underlying issue of attempting to use the same index number for different index items.

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