Subject: CVE-2023-52436: f2fs: explicitly null-terminate the xattr list
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 19:33:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2024022056-operative-cork-082c@gregkh> (raw)

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: explicitly null-terminate the xattr list

When setting an xattr, explicitly null-terminate the xattr list.  This
eliminates the fragile assumption that the unused xattr space is always
zeroed.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52436 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
