Last modified
CVE-2021-3506 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12.0-rc4. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
