Summary

In the Linux kernel's netfs subsystem, an overrun vulnerability was found in netfs_extract_user_iter(). If iov_iter_extract_pages() overfills the pages[] array, excess pages may be included in the constructed iterator, leading to memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

Memory corruption can lead to system crash or potential arbitrary code execution by an attacker.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that prevents excess pages from being included in the iterator.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix overrun check in netfs_extract_user_iter() Fix netfs_extract_user_iter() so that if iov_iter_extract_pages() overfills pages[], then those pages don't get included in the iterator constructed at the end of the function. If there was an overfill, memory corruption has already happened.
