Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 2.4.22
Description
The issue is related to multiple race conditions in the handling of O DIRECT in the Linux kernel. This could lead to stale data being returned from the disk when handling sparse files, or incorrect data being returned when a file is truncated as it is being read. As a result, local users might obtain sensitive data that was originally owned by other users.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 2.4.22, update to version 2.4.22 or later to resolve the issue.
