In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: check access to copy_file_range source with src mounter creds
Commit 5dae222a5ff0c ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across devices")
allowed filesystems that implement the copy_file_range() f_op to decide
if they want to access cross-sb copy from/to the same fs type.
The same commit added checks to verify same sb copy for filesystems that
implement ->copy_file_range() and do not support cross-sb copy at the
time, namely, to ceph, fuse and nfs.
The two remaining fs which implement ->copy_file_range(), cifs and
overlayfs started to support cross-sb copy from this time.
While overlayfs does support cross-sb copy when the two underlying files
are on the same base fs, the copy operation on the two real files from
two different overalyfs filesystems is performed with the mounter
creds of the destination overlayfs and the read permission access hook
for the source file was called with the wrong creds.
This could cause either deny of access to copy which would otherwise be
allowed (e.g. with splice) or allow read access to file which would
otherwise be denied.
Fix the latter case by explicitly verifying read access to source file
with the source overlayfs mounter creds.
The former case remains a quirk of cross-sb overlayfs copy, but
userspace could fall back to regular copy so no harm done.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
