CVE-2025-21665 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: filemap: avoid truncating 64-bit offset to 32 bits On 32-bit kernels, folio_seek_hole_data() was inadvertently truncating a 64-bit value to 32 bits, leading to a possible infinite loop when writing to an xfs filesystem.. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
