CVE-2023-52590

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

Description The issue is related to the ocfs2 file system in the Linux kernel. The VFS does not lock a moved directory if its parent does not change, which can lead to file system corruption if the ocfs2 rename code touches the renamed directory without proper locking. The ocfs2 rename code has been changed to avoid touching the renamed directory if its parent does not change.

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