Subject: CVE-2024-43898 is invalid?
Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2024 11:31:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240909153144.GA1510718@mit.edu> (raw)
I believe CVE-2024-43898 regarding "ext4: sanity check for NULL
pointer after ext4_force_shutdown" (commit id: 83f4414b8f84) may have
been issued in error.
ext4_force_shutdown() is called from FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN, which requires
root privileges.
Cheers,
- Ted
