A failure of the file system metadata validator in XFS can cause an inode with a valid, user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt. This can lead to the filesystem being shutdown, or otherwise rendered inaccessible until it is remounted, leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-131"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-10/msg00001.html","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-14385","https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f4020438fab05364018c91f7e02ebdd192085933","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2020/09/msg00025.html","https://usn.ubuntu.com/4576-1/"],"products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:09:20.498348299+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2020-14385","score":0.00416,"percentile":0.35897,"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).
