NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug-modules-partner package and not the kernel-rt-debug-modules-partner package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to overflow the kernel stack.
