Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nilfs2 filesystem. When the nilfs2 filesystem encounters corruption and transitions to a read-only state, a missing flag clear during page discard can lead to a skipped sanity check in directory operations. This can cause a kernel bug, potentially resulting in a system crash and denial of service.
