Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, related to the XFS filesystem. The issue occurs when a link() call tries to set up a transaction to link a child into a directory, and quota reservation for the transaction fails after IO errors shut down the filesystem. The system then forgets to unlock the inodes on its way out, causing it to hang. This can lead to metadata I/O errors, log I/O errors, and corruption detected, requiring the filesystem to be unmounted and repaired.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
