Doc Text:
An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the F2FS filesystem module in f2fs_listxattr in fs/f2fs/xattr.c. A missing bounds check before a memcpy can leak the kernel's internal information, and lead to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
