Summary

In the Linux kernel JFS filesystem, the dbAllocAG function does not check if the tree index exceeds the size of the stree array. This can occur with corrupted filesystem metadata.

Risk Assessment

Can lead to out-of-bounds read/write, potentially causing system crashes or data corruption.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds an upper bound check for the tree index in dbAllocAG.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jfs: upper bound check of tree index in dbAllocAG When computing the tree index in dbAllocAG, we never check if we are out of bounds realative to the size of the stree. This could happen in a scenario where the filesystem metadata are corrupted.
