Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() when processing a crafted ioctl request. A local user can send a crafted ioctl request with bd_oblocknr set to 0 to cause a denial of service.
