Discussion

Linux Kernel XFS File System Information Leakage Vulnerability

An information leakage vulnerability has been reported to exist in the Linux kernel when writing to an XFS file system. This issue is due to a design error that causes some kernel information to be leaked.

It has been reported that this issue requires that the attacker be able to read the raw device; an action which is restricted to privileges users. Due to the nature of the issue, this really only poses a security risk if the privileged user is not intended to access this information already.
