The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to reachable assertion within the ovl_encode_real_fh() function in fs/overlayfs/copy_up.c, within the show_mark_fhandle() function in fs/notify/fdinfo.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
