CVE-2023-52436
Last modified
CVE-2023-52436 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: explicitly null-terminate the xattr list When setting an xattr, explicitly null-terminate the xattr list. This eliminates the fragile assumption that the unused xattr space is always zeroed.. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
