| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58
Description:
The issue concerns a change to non-blocking allocation in
ntfs d hash within the Linux kernel. Specifically, d hash is performed under "rcu-walk" and should not sleep. However, get name() allocates using GFP KERNEL, which can sleep when under memory pressure. To address this, the allocation has been changed to GFP NOWAIT.Recommendations:
For versions prior to 6.6.58, update to version 6.6.58 or later to resolve the issue.
