CVE-2024-50065

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58

Description: The issue concerns a change to non-blocking allocation in ntfs d hash within the Linux kernel. Specifically, d hash is performed under "rcu-walk" and should not sleep. However, get name() allocates using GFP KERNEL, which can sleep when under memory pressure. To address this, the allocation has been changed to GFP NOWAIT.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 6.6.58, update to version 6.6.58 or later to resolve the issue.
