CVSS 3.1
7.1 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:HCVE-2025-22079
High (7.1) 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: validate l_tree_depth to avoid out-of-bounds access
The l_tree_depth field is 16-bit (__le16), but the actual maximum depth is
limited to OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH.
Add a check to prevent out-of-bounds access if l_tree_depth has an invalid
value, which may occur when reading from a corrupted mounted disk [1].
