Quick assessment
Affected
Linux Linux
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
在 Linux 内核中，已修复以下漏洞： xfs：在恢复（salvaging）过程中，避免对长度为零的目录项（dirent）无限自旋等待 LOLLM 发现， 在遇到一个未使用但声称长度为 0 的目录项时，可能会无限自旋等待。对此进行了修复，并防止在遇到长度为零的目录项时出现相同问题。

xfs: don't spin forever on zero-length dirents when salvaging them
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: don't spin forever on zero-length dirents when salvaging them
LOLLM noticed that xrep_dir_recover_data can spin forever if it
encounters an unused dirent that claims to have length zero. Fix that,
and prevent the same thing from happening with a zero-length entry.
