  "title": "netfs: zero gaps in read-gaps folio to avoid writing back stale data",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  netfs: zero gaps in read-gaps folio to avoid writing back stale data  netfs_read_gaps() leaves gaps around a streaming write\u0027s dirty region unread on the server side, so a short/EOF response there left stale folio content that later got written back.  Zero it after the read completes, not before: netfs_wait_for_read() returns rreq-\u003Etransferred once ret \u003E= 0, so build an iterator over the same bvec array the read used, advance past ret, and zero the rest. The dirty region already maps to sink pages in that array rather than the real folio, so this can\u0027t touch it, and only the actual shortfall gets zeroed instead of the whole gap upfront.",
