CVE-2016-10741 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the Linux kernel before 4.9.3, fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) because there is a race condition between direct and memory-mapped I/O (associated with a hole) that is handled with BUG_ON instead of an I/O failure.. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
