Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Release of Invalid Pointer or Reference through the inode_unlink function in fs/inode/fs_inoderemove.c. An attacker can cause a Denial of Service by removing the root filesystem inode, causing a debug assert trigger or a NULL pointer dereference.

Note: This vulnerability is also exploitable through network-exposed filesystem services with write access (e.g., FTP).
