Summary
CVE-2024-50272 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.64.2-1
Details

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

filemap: Fix bounds checking in filemap_read()

If the caller supplies an iocb->kipos value that is close to the filesystem upper limit, and an iterator with a count that causes us to overflow that limit, then filemapread() enters an infinite loop.

This behaviour was discovered when testing xfstests generic/525 with the "localio" optimisation for loopback NFS mounts.
