About this tag
The adfs filesystem tag covers a narrowly defined Linux kernel security issue involving the ADFS filesystem driver. The featured discussion examines CVE-2026-52992, an out-of-bounds write that can occur when a crafted Acorn Disc Filing System image reports a zero zone count. It explains how malformed disc-image metadata can reach compatibility code in the kernel and create a memory-safety problem, even though the affected filesystem is uncommon on modern systems. The coverage is relevant to Linux administrators, security teams, and anyone assessing kernel attack surface, image-mounting behavior, or legacy filesystem support.
