Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A issue in the Linux kernel has been resolved, specifically in the erofs component when operating in fscache mode. The problem arises because the xarray iteration only maintains a read lock, which can lead to encountering an XA RETRY ENTRY if another process is modifying the xarray simultaneously. This situation causes errors when attempting to access an invalid entry. The solution involves adding a missing xas retry() call, which will make the iteration return to the root node upon encountering an XA RETRY ENTRY.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
