Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in netfs_invalidate_folio() when handling a folio that was dirtied by a streaming write and then truncated before being read via mmap(). A local user can truncate the file and trigger a subsequent mmap read to cause a kernel oops and denial of service.
Exploitation requires a local sequence involving streaming writes followed by truncation and mmap-based access.
