CVE-2019-19814

CVSS v2.0

9.3

High

VectorAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 5.0.21
Description The issue is related to the remove dirty segment function in the Linux kernel, which is vulnerable to a slab-out-of-bounds write access. This occurs when mounting a crafted f2fs filesystem image, allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service. The problem arises because an array is bounded by the number of dirty types (8), but the array index can exceed this.
Recommendations For Linux kernel version 5.0.21 and earlier, consider restricting access to the remove dirty segment function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using crafted f2fs filesystem images to minimize the risk of exploitation.
