Description Sam Fowler 2018-02-26 23:18:56 EST
fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13 mishandles extent trees, which allows local users to cause a denial of service via an application with multiple threads.

Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1550994]
Comment 4 Vladis Dronov 2018-03-02 09:03:32 EST
Statement:

This issue does not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7, its real-time kernel, Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for ARM 64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for Power 9 LE, as the code with the flaw is not built and shipped in the products listed.
Comment 5 Justin M. Forbes 2018-03-02 16:19:23 EST
This issue was fixed for Fedora with the 4.13 kernel rebases.
