Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. This vulnerability occurs during the splitting of unwritten data blocks, where a portion of the data may be incorrectly marked as written while still containing stale, uninitialized information. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to access sensitive data that should have been zeroed out, leading to information disclosure.
