NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.34.el7uek package and not the dtrace-modules-4.1.12-61.1.34.el7uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
