kernel is vulnerable to denial of service. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s ext4 file system driver handled non-journal file systems with an orphan list. An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to crash the system or, although unlikely, escalate their privileges on the system.
