CVE-2025-38652
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to avoid out-of-boundary access in devs.path - touch /mnt/f2fs/012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 - truncate -s $((1024*1024*1024)) \…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
