{"id":"AZL-53286","summary":"CVE-2024-50202 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.64.2-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()\n\nSyzbot reported that a task hang occurs in vcs_open() during a fuzzing\ntest for nilfs2.\n\nThe root cause of this problem is that in nilfs_find_entry(), which\nsearches for directory entries, ignores errors when loading a directory\npage/folio via nilfs_get_folio() fails.\n\nIf the filesystem images is corrupted, and the i_size of the directory\ninode is large, and the directory page/folio is successfully read but\nfails the sanity check, for example when it is zero-filled,\nnilfs_check_folio() may continue to spit out error messages in bursts.\n\nFix this issue by propagating the error to the callers when loading a\npage/folio fails in nilfs_find_entry().\n\nThe current interface of nilfs_find_entry() and its callers is outdated\nand cannot propagate error codes such as -EIO and -ENOMEM returned via\nnilfs_find_entry(), so fix it together.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:18:00.206771Z","published":"2024-11-08T06:15:16Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-50202"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-50202"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.64.2-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-53286.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
