CVE-2024-58001 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: handle a symlink read error correctly

Patch series \Convert ocfs2 to use folios.

Mark did a conversion of ocfs2 to use folios and sent it to me as a giant patch for review ;-)

So I’ve redone it as individual patches and credited Mark for the patches where his code is substantially the same. It’s not a bad way to do it; his patch had some bugs and my patches had some bugs. Hopefully all our bugs were different from each other. And hopefully Mark likes all the changes I made to his code!

This patch (of 23):

If we can’t read the buffer be sure to unlock the page before returning.
