What to do
AI-suggested
A fix is available that maps the EBADMSG error to nfserr_io in the nfsd code to avoid kernel warnings. Users should apply the official Linux kernel updates that include this fix. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the patch.
Description
CVE-2024-49875 addresses a Linux kernel vulnerability where the nfsd component improperly handles the EBADMSG error code from ext4 during directory reads, causing kernel warnings. The fix maps the EBADMSG error to nfserr_io to prevent these warnings.
