CVE-2024-50272

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

Description: The issue arises when the caller supplies an iocb->ki pos value close to the filesystem upper limit, and an iterator with a count that causes an overflow of that limit, resulting in filemap read() entering an infinite loop. This behavior was discovered during testing of xfstests generic/525 with the "localio" optimization for loopback NFS mounts.

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