CVE-2024-56596

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

Description A vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the jfs readdir function, where an array-index-out-of-bounds error could occur. The stbl might contain some invalid values, and a check has been added to return an error code in such cases.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the jfs readdir function until a patch is available.
