Overview

CVE-2024-58001 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 27, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical 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!
