Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "libfs: fix infinite directory
reads for offset dir" The current directory offset allocator (based on mtree_alloc_cyclic) stores the next
offset value to return in octx->next_offset. This mechanism typically returns values that increase
monotonically over time. Eventually, though, the newly allocated offset value wraps back to a low number
(say, 2) which is smaller than other already- allocated offset values. Yu Kuai <[email protected]>
reports that, after commit 64a7ce76fb90 ("libfs: fix infinite directory reads for offset dir"), if a
directory's offset allocator wraps, existing entries are no longer visible via readdir/getdents because
offset_readdir() stops listing entries once an entry's offset is larger than octx->next_offset. These
entries vanish persistently -- they can be looked up, but will never again appear in readdir(3) output.
The reason for this is that the commit treats directory offsets as monotonically increasing integer values
rather than opaque cookies, and introduces this comparison: if (dentry2offset(dentry) >= last_index) { On
64-bit platforms, the directory offset value upper bound is 2^63 - 1. Directory offsets will monotonically
increase for millions of years without wrapping. On 32-bit platforms, however, LONG_MAX is 2^31 - 1. The
allocator can wrap after only a few weeks (at worst). Revert commit 64a7ce76fb90 ("libfs: fix infinite
directory reads for offset dir") to prepare for a fix that can work properly on 32-bit systems and might
apply to recent LTS kernels where shmem employs the simple_offset mechanism. (CVE-2024-57952)

Solution
