CVE-2024-57850 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jffs2: Prevent rtime decompress memory corruption The rtime decompression routine does not fully check bounds during the entirety of the decompression pass and can corrupt memory outside the decompression buffer if the compressed data is corrupted. This adds the required check to prevent this failure mode.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
