A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ocfs2 filesystem code was fixed, addressing improper buffer head management in the ocfs2_read_blocks() function. The issue involved incorrect assumptions about buffer head ownership, potentially causing stale buffer heads with invalid data to be used in the OCFS2 metadata cache. This could lead to data inconsistency or corruption. Multiple specific linux-aws kernel versions are affected. A patch is available to correct this flaw.
