**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
linux-image-3.13.0
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.15
**Description**
The issue affects the XFS implementation in the Linux kernel, where an old size value is improperly used during remote attribute replacement. This can be exploited locally to cause a denial of service, resulting in transaction overrun and data corruption, or possibly gain privileges by leveraging XFS filesystem access.
**Recommendations**
For linux-image-3.13.0, update to a version later than 3.13.0 to mitigate the risk.
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.15, update to version 3.15 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the XFS filesystem to minimize the risk of exploitation.
