Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 11:07:27 UTC
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.
