Linux Kernel Ubifs Vulnerability in Private Page Handling

CVE-2023-53584

What is CVE-2023-53584?

A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's UBIFS filesystem due to improper handling of page states leading to assertion failures during page release operations. This can occur when pages are marked as private but not dirty, potentially causing data integrity issues and unexpected behavior in the filesystem. Developers and system administrators are advised to apply the necessary patches to mitigate this risk and ensure system stability.
