CVE-2023-53584

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16.0-rc5-00184-g0bca5994cacc-dirty #308

Description The Linux kernel contained a flaw in the ubifs subsystem related to page management. Specifically, a race condition could occur during page truncation and file advice operations, leading to an assertion failure within the ubifs releasepage() function. This could result in the file system switching to read-only mode. The issue arises from a scenario where a page could be in a private but not dirty state, triggering a false assertion.

Recommendations Update to Linux kernel version 5.16.0-rc5-00184-g0bca5994cacc-dirty #308 or a later version to resolve this issue.
