UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50272: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: filemap: Fix bounds checking in filemapread() If the caller supplies an iocb->kipos value that is close to the filesystem upper limit, and an iterator with a count that causes us to overflow that limit, then filemapread() enters an infinite loop. This behaviour was discovered when testing xfstests generic/525 with the "localio" optimisation for loopback NFS mounts.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
What access does an attacker need to trigger this issue?
The issue requires local access and low privileges. Exploitation involves supplying a file position near the filesystem upper limit together with a read iterator count that overflows that limit.
What is the practical impact?
The affected filemap_read() path can enter an infinite loop, resulting in an availability impact. The provided severity vector indicates no confidentiality or integrity impact.
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?
The listed software includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp, and ubuntu/linux-oracle.
