CVE-2024-58094 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 7.8
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Attack surface: jfs_truncate_nolock / xtTruncate
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via jfs_truncate_nolock.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel. Attack surface: jfs_truncate_nolock / xtTruncate.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: add check read-only before truncation in jfs_truncate_nolock()
Added a check for "read-only" mode in the jfs_truncate_nolock
function to avoid errors related to writing to a read-only
filesystem.
Call stack:
block_write_begin() {
jfs_write_failed() {
jfs_truncate() {
jfs_truncate_nolock() {
txEnd() {
...
log = JFS_SBI(tblk->sb)->log;
// (log == NULL)
If the isReadOnly(ip) condition is triggered in
jfs_truncate_nolock, the function execution will stop, and no
further data modification will occur. Instead, the xtTruncate
function will be called with the "COMMIT_WMAP" flag, preventing
modifications in "read-only" mode.
