What to do

AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to properly handle overlapped pclusters in crafted erofs images by falling back to temporary short-lived pages and reverting part of a previous commit for simplicity. Users should update to the fixed Linux kernel version once available. No additional mitigation steps are indicated or required for normal filesystem images.

Description

CVE-2024-47736 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's erofs filesystem driver where crafted images with overlapped pclusters can cause task hangs due to deadlocks. The issue arises from improper handling of overlapped physical clusters in crafted filesystem images, which are not possible in normal images. The vulnerability leads to unexpected BIO waits and complications in managing compressed data folios.
