CVE-2024-47670

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

Description The issue is related to the ocfs2 xattr find entry() function in the Linux kernel's ocfs2 file system module, which is vulnerable to out-of-bounds memory access. This could allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The vulnerability can be exploited by crafted images, and a paranoia check has been added to prevent out-of-bound access.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58, update to version 6.6.58 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ocfs2 file system module until a patch is available.
