Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds in the exfat process. An attacker can cause file system corruption, unauthorized data disclosure, and denial of service by mounting a crafted exFAT image with a directory size greater than or equal to the cluster size and an invalid start_clu value, then performing directory operations such as lookup or create in the corrupt directory. This may result in reading or writing clusters belonging to other files, exposing sensitive data, destroying unrelated user data, and rendering the file system read-only or causing repeated I/O failures.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
