Descriptions
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4. A failure of the file system metadata validator in XFS can cause an inode with a valid, user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt. This can lead to the filesystem being shutdown, or otherwise rendered inaccessible until it is remounted, leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Se encontró un fallo en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.9-rc4. Un fallo en el comprobador de metadatos del sistema de archivos en XFS puede causar que un inodo con un atributo extendido válido creado por el usuario sea marcado como corrupto. Esto puede conllevar que el sistema de archivos sea apagado o se vuelva inaccesible hasta que se vuelva a montar, conllevando una denegación de servicio. La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la disponibilidad del sistema
