In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid potential memory corruption in __update_iostat_latency()
Add iotype sanity check to avoid potential memory corruption.
This is to fix the compile error below:
fs/f2fs/iostat.c:231 __update_iostat_latency() error: buffer overflow
'io_lat->peak_lat[type]' 3 <= 3
vim +228 fs/f2fs/iostat.c
211 static inline void __update_iostat_latency(struct bio_iostat_ctx
*iostat_ctx,
212 enum iostat_lat_type type)
213 {
214 unsigned long ts_diff;
215 unsigned int page_type = iostat_ctx->type;
216 struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi = iostat_ctx->sbi;
217 struct iostat_lat_info *io_lat = sbi->iostat_io_lat;
218 unsigned long flags;
219
220 if (!sbi->iostat_enable)
221 return;
222
223 ts_diff = jiffies - iostat_ctx->submit_ts;
224 if (page_type >= META_FLUSH)
^^^^^^^^^^
225 page_type = META;
226
227 spin_lock_irqsave(&sbi->iostat_lat_lock, flags);
@228 io_lat->sum_lat[type][page_type] += ts_diff;
^^^^^^^^^
Mixup between META_FLUSH and NR_PAGE_TYPE leads to memory corruption.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
The EG score (7.8): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 7.8 is its impact severity (EG Severity), not escalated.
- EG Severity

SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
