Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the EROFS filesystem, I/O requests beyond the end of the filesystem for file-backed mounts are not zeroed out, which could lead to data leakage. The issue has been fixed by properly zeroing such requests.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to leakage of sensitive kernel memory data to userspace when reading beyond the filesystem boundary.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (zeroing I/O requests beyond the end of the filesystem for EROFS file-backed mounts).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: handle end of filesystem properly for file-backed mounts I/O requests beyond the end of the filesystem should be zeroed out, similar to loopback devices and that is what we expect.
