La aserci\u00f3n WARN_ON() en inotify_show_fdinfo() se elimin\u00f3, porque es posible que la codificaci\u00f3n del identificador de archivo falle por otra raz\u00f3n, pero el impacto de no codificar un identificador de archivo overlayfs va m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de esta aserci\u00f3n. Como se muestra en el caso de prueba LTP mencionado en el enlace a continuaci\u00f3n, no codificar un identificador de archivo overlayfs desde un inodo sin alias tambi\u00e9n conduce a no informar un fid con eventos fanotify FAN_DELETE_SELF. Como Dmitry se\u00f1ala en su an\u00e1lisis del problema, ovl_encode_fh() falla si no puede encontrar un alias para el inodo, pero este error se puede solucionar. ovl_encode_fh() rara vez usa el alias y en el caso de identificadores de archivos no decodificables, como suele ser el caso con la informaci\u00f3n de fid de fanotify, ovl_encode_fh() nunca necesita usar el alias para codificar un identificador de archivo. Aplaza la b\u00fasqueda de un alias hasta que realmente sea necesario para que ovl_encode_fh() no falle en el caso com\u00fan de eventos de fanotify FAN_DELETE_SELF."}], "lastModified": "2025-09-26T19:48:53.530", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8ACFB4AB-E539-4DA4-8706-E49F89F59B9C", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.74", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "02D604F6-10D1-4F7B-A022-0888406A1121", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.10", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "62567B3C-6CEE-46D0-BC2E-B3717FBF7D13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5A073481-106D-4B15-B4C7-FB0213B8E1D4"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "DE491969-75AE-4A6B-9A58-8FC5AF98798F"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "93C0660D-7FB8-4FBA-892A-B064BA71E49E"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "034C36A6-C481-41F3-AE9A-D116E5BE6895"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc6:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8AF9DC49-2085-4FFB-A7E3-73DFAFECC7F2"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
