Title
bfs: handle set_blocksize failures
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bfs: handle set_blocksize failures bfs uses buffer_heads, which don't handle block size > PAGE_SIZE well. Without this, mounting will hit the BUG_ON(offset >= folio_size(folio)); in folio_set_bh on the first __bread_gfp call.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
