About this tag
CVE-2024-23850 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the Btrfs filesystem that can cause a local denial-of-service condition. The bug involves a race condition where a newly created subvolume is read before the filesystem completes subvolume creation, leading to an assertion failure and kernel crash. The issue affects Linux kernels up to and including version 6.7.1. A patch has been released upstream and incorporated into distributor kernels. While this is a Linux-specific flaw, Windows users running virtual machines or WSL instances with affected kernels should ensure their systems are updated to avoid potential crashes.
