LIN1018-4766 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2019-15538

Created: Aug 26, 2019    Updated: Oct 14, 2019
Resolved Date: Oct 14, 2019
Found In Version: 10.18.44.1
Fix Version: 10.18.44.11
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18
Component/s: Kernel

Description

An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
