Description Mikhail Kasimov 2017-05-15 11:35:03 MSK

Ref: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q2/259
============================================
When a power failure (or hardware reset) occurs, applications writing to an
ext4 filesystem system may create a situation in which writes to one file
may appear in another file (ergo information leak).

This may be at least data corruption, a controlled attacker may be able to
leverage this to steal data from writes to the same ext4 subsystem.

Честно говоря, не очень понятно, в какой раздел писать security-reports, ибо отдельного раздела багзиллы security я не нашёл. :( Просьба, если нужно, перетащить репорт в правильный раздел.
