CVE-2024-50272

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 3.16.40-3.16.99 - Infinite Loop via Filemap Read Bounds Check Bypass

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: filemap: Fix bounds checking in filemap_read() If the caller supplies an iocb->ki_pos value that is close to the filesystem upper limit, and an iterator with a count that causes us to overflow that limit, then filemap_read() enters an infinite loop. This behaviour was discovered when testing xfstests generic/525 with the "localio" optimisation for loopback NFS mounts.
