{"cve":"CVE-2019-15538","nvd":{"published":"2019-08-25T16:15:11.033","modified":"2026-06-17T02:20:35.200","status":"Modified","description":"An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-400"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-09/msg00064.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-09/msg00066.html","https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1fb254aa983bf190cfd685d40c64a480a9bafaee","https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1fb254aa983bf190cfd685d40c64a480a9bafaee","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2019/09/msg00014.html"],"products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux","fedoraproject:fedora","linux:linux_kernel","netapp:aff_a700s_firmware","netapp:data_availability_services","netapp:h300e_firmware","netapp:h300s_firmware","netapp:h410c_firmware","netapp:h410s_firmware","netapp:h500e_firmware","netapp:h500s_firmware","netapp:h610s_firmware","netapp:h700e_firmware","netapp:h700s_firmware","netapp:hci_management_node","netapp:solidfire","opensuse:leap"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:58:39.700375520+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-15538","score":0.03916,"percentile":0.90317,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
