Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A issue in the Linux kernel has been identified, specifically in the ext4 file system, where possible corruption can occur when moving a directory. This happens because when renaming a directory to a different directory, the '..' entry in the moved directory needs to be updated. However, if the moved directory is modified or converted from an inline format to a normal format during this process, it can cause the rename code to become confused, leading to a crash. The problem is resolved by locking the moved directory.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
