Threats tagged 'ghsa-v4qq-9xc6-v286'

A buffer overflow vulnerability related to extended attributes (xattr) in the OrangeFS component of the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue was caused by improper loop termination in the xattr_key() helper function, leading to kernel crashes, hung processes, and file corruption. Additionally, a related memory leak in the xattr cache was fixed by correcting the use of kernel hashing macros. This vulnerability has a high severity rating due to its impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
