A local attacker\ncould use this to expose sensitive information or possibly elevate\nprivileges. (CVE-2017-13168)\n\nWen Xu discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ext4\nfilesystem implementation in the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this\nto construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a\ndenial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.\n(CVE-2018-10876, CVE-2018-10879)\n\nWen Xu discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the ext4 filesystem\nimplementation in the Linux kernel.
