That's why count is equal to 1.\n\nTherefore add the ext4_check_dx_root() helper function to add more sanity\nchecks to dot and dotdot before starting the conversion to avoid the above\nissue.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "b80575ffa98b5bb3a5d4d392bfe4c2e03e9557db" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "19e13b4d7f0303186fcc891aba8d0de7c8fdbda8" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "42d420517072028fb0eb852c358056b7717ba5aa" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "8afe06ed3be7a874b3cd82ef5f8959aca8d6429a" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "abb411ac991810c0bcbe51c2e76d2502bf611b5c" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "9d241b7a39af192d1bb422714a458982c7cc67a2" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "cdd345321699042ece4a9d2e70754d2397d378c5" }, { "version": "ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "50ea741def587a64e08879ce6c6a30131f7111e7" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.19", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "2.6.19" }, { "version": "4.19.320", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "4.19.*" }, { "version": "5.4.282", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*" }, { "version": "5.10.224", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.165", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.103", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.44", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.10.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*" }, { "version": "6.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
