Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfs: Fix overrun check in netfs_extract_user_iter()

Fix netfs_extract_user_iter() so that if iov_iter_extract_pages() overfills
pages[], then those pages don't get included in the iterator constructed at
the end of the function.  If there was an overfill, memory corruption has
already happened.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64217 to this issue.

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:
