CVE-2024-53147: exfat: fix out-of-bounds access of directory entries
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.25% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 184fa506e392eb78364d9283c961217ff2c0617b, 3ddd1cb2b458ff6a193bc845f408dfff217db29e, 82dc96f0f4eec8afdde8467d21d1b6b989dbb20a.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 184fa506e392eb78364d9283c961217ff2c0617b, 3ddd1cb2b458ff6a193bc845f408dfff217db29e, 82dc96f0f4eec8afdde8467d21d1b6b989dbb20a or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exfat: fix out-of-bounds access of directory entries In the case of the directory size is greater than or equal to the cluster size, if start_clu becomes an EOF cluster(an invalid cluster) due to file system corruption, then the directory entry where ei->hint_femp.eidx hint is outside the directory, resulting in an out-of-bounds access, which may cause further file system corruption. This commit adds a check for start_clu, if it is an invalid cluster, the file or directory will be treated as empty.
