Summary

In the Linux kernel, the XFS filesystem has a vulnerability where quota IDs wrap around during iteration. When the ID reaches the maximum value (XFS_DQ_ID_MAX), addition truncates it to zero, restarting the iteration and potentially causing incorrect quota enforcement.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential bypass or misapplication of quota limits, allowing users to exceed allowed disk usage.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix, which casts the ID to u64 to prevent wrapping.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: don't wrap around quota ids in dqiterate LOLLM noticed that q_id is an unsigned 32-bit variable. If it happens to be set to XFS_DQ_ID_MAX due to a filesystem that actually has a dquot for ID_MAX, then this addition will truncate to zero and the iteration starts over. Fix this by casting to u64.
