Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: handle a symlink read error correctly
Patch series "Convert ocfs2 to use folios".
Mark did a conversion of ocfs2 to use folios and sent it to me as a
giant patch for review ;-)
So I've redone it as individual patches, and credited Mark for the patches
where his code is substantially the same. It's not a bad way to do it;
his patch had some bugs and my patches had some bugs. Hopefully all our
bugs were different from each other. And hopefully Mark likes all the
changes I made to his code!
