Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found in the Ceph filesystem where folios not suitable for writeback were not released properly. The function removing folios from the batch did not call `folio_put`, causing a memory leak.

Risk Assessment

Memory leak may lead to gradual exhaustion of system resources, potentially causing system crashes or service disruptions in environments using Ceph.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a patched version (v6.18 or later) and apply relevant security patches for systems using Ceph.

Original NVD description (English source)
