Description
An issue exists in the btrfs component where the 'set received' ioctl can trigger a transaction abort due to an item overflow when adding the
BTRFS UUID KEY RECEIVED SUBVOL. A user who owns a subvolume, regardless of whether they have admin privileges (CAP SYS ADMIN), can cause the filesystem to enter read-only (RO) mode by calling this ioctl with the same received UUID field for numerous subvolumes.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
