Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel exFAT filesystem driver (exfat) is affected in multiple version ranges, starting from commit 370e812b3ec1 and fixed in several stable branches. A damaged or misbehaving volume whose upcase table size is recorded as zero can cause an integer overflow that makes the module loop indefinitely. The source does not describe what an attacker must do to trigger this beyond supplying such a volume. Upgrade to a fixed kernel version for your branch, such as 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.111, or 6.18.53 or later, or to a release containing the fix.
