{"id":"CVE-2020-14385","details":"A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4. A failure of the file system metadata validator in XFS can cause an inode with a valid, user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt. This can lead to the filesystem being shutdown, or otherwise rendered inaccessible until it is remounted, leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.","modified":"2026-03-13T00:26:01.075966Z","published":"2020-09-15T22:15:13.223Z","related":["MGASA-2020-0392","SUSE-SU-2020:2879-1","SUSE-SU-2020:2908-1","openSUSE-SU-2020:1586-1","openSUSE-SU-2021:0242-1"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-10/msg00001.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2020/09/msg00025.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://usn.ubuntu.com/4576-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-14385"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f4020438fab05364018c91f7e02ebdd192085933"}],"affected":[{"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.9.0"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5.9.0-NA"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5.9.0-rc1"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5.9.0-rc2"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5.9.0-rc3"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"18.04"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"20.04"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"9.0"}]}],"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2020-14385.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"}]}
