Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-35821
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to the ubifs component of the Linux kernel, where page cache reads are lockless. This allows a simultaneous reader to see old data if the freshly allocated page is set uptodate before the new data is copied into it. The vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service. The `SetPageUptodate` call has been moved to `ubifs write end()`, after the new data has been copied into the page, to resolve the issue. The functions `write begin slow()`, `ubifs write begin()`, and `ubifs write end()` in `fs/ubifs/file.c` are involved in the vulnerability.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
