The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in the ocfs2 fast symlink read path when processing a malformed zero-cluster symlink inode. A local user can provide a crafted filesystem image containing an invalid fast symlink to disclose sensitive information.

The issue is triggered when the inline symlink payload is not NUL-terminated at the recorded size or when the recorded size exceeds the inline fast-symlink capacity.
