In the Linux kernel before 4.9.3, fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) because there is a race condition between direct and memory-mapped I/O (associated with a hole) that is handled with BUG_ON instead of an I/O failure.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-10741 is a Linux kernel flaw that can let a local user crash the system. It affects kernels before 4.9.3 in XFS file handling. The business impact is availability loss, not data theft, based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on Linux systems running kernels before 4.9.3 with XFS in use and local user access. Distribution backports may change exposure, so kernel package provenance matters more than upstream version alone. Treat as a targeted availability risk. Patch during normal vulnerability remediation cycles, faster for shared Linux servers with local users or workloads using XFS. No evidence provided indicates remote compromise or active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to a kernel containing the upstream fix or a vendor backport.; Check Linux distribution advisories for the supported patched kernel package.; Prioritize multi-user systems where untrusted local users can access XFS filesystems..
