Summary

In the Linux kernel, the afs_edit_dir_remove() function incorrectly uses afs_dir_find_block() instead of afs_dir_get_block() to get block 0. This may cause the page containing the block to be switched, leading to incorrect behavior.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential data corruption or incorrect operation of the AFS filesystem, which may lead to loss of data integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that changes the function to afs_dir_get_block().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to get, not find, block 0 Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to use afs_dir_get_block() to get block 0 rather than afs_dir_find_block() as the latter caches the found block in the afs_dir_iter and may[*] switch out the page it's on if another afs_dir_find_block() is done. This parallels what afs_edit_dir_add() does. [*] There's more than one block per page.
