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

cachefiles: Set the max subreq size for cache writes to MAX_RW_COUNT

Set the maximum size of a subrequest that writes to cachefiles to be MAX_RW_COUNT so that we don't overrun the maximum write we can make to the backing filesystem.

The security impact of this bug is limited. Not actual for current versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (before version 10), because related code not back-ported yet.
