In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm-verity: make error counter atomic

The error counter "v->corrupted_errs" was not atomic, thus it could be
subject to race conditions. The call to
dm_audit_log_target("max-corrupted-errors") may be skipped due to the
races.

No CVSS v4.0

Attack Vector Local

Attack Complexity Low

Privileges Required Low

Scope Unchanged

Confidentiality Impact None

Integrity Impact None

Availability Impact High

User Interaction None

No CVSS v3.0

No CVSS v2

This CVE is not in the KEV list.

The EPSS score is 0.00216.

Exploitation none

Automatable no

Technical Impact partial

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
