Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Linux kernel ocfs2 filesystem code is affected from 2.6.16 until fixed. A corrupted inode with an out-of-range orphan slot number can cause an out-of-bounds memory read during orphan processing. The source does not say how an attacker would introduce such corruption. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114, 6.18.52, or a later release in those series.
