  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nhfs: Replace BUG_ON with error handling for CNID count checks\nIn a06ec283e125 next_id, folder_count, and file_count in the super block\ninfo were expanded to 64 bits, and BUG_ONs were added to detect\noverflow. This triggered an error reported by syzbot: if the MDB is\ncorrupted, the BUG_ON is triggered. This patch replaces this mechanism\nwith proper error handling and resolves the syzbot reported bug.\nSinged-off-by: Jori Koolstra <jkoolstra@xs4all.nl>", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel HFS component. A local attacker could provide a specially crafted and corrupted Master Directory Block (MDB) to trigger a kernel panic. This vulnerability, caused by improper error handling of CNID count checks, leads to a system Denial of Service (DoS)." ],
