Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: fs/netfs/iterator.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/00efe58bbdcc93272d579ca24bfc912563f4a204 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96cc3beb2390ba9f9c128c5733c0ccfe450dd4f9 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/afeb32d9bf9aaeea51d0f723a19f14afb73bd94d https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f48b9157f0f611fa436c360648603d5ded719b12 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0ef37eef83fad3542ee06db2940433ae1a92b39d
