NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.19 package and not the linux-4.19 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12.0-rc4. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
