What to Know

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

xfs: don't spin forever on zero-length dirents when salvaging them

LOLLM noticed that xrep_dir_recover_data can spin forever if it

encounters an unused dirent that claims to have length zero. Fix that,

and prevent the same thing from happening with a zero-length entry. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Linux's web page for any future patch releases.
