CVE-2021-33631: Kernel crash in EXT4 filesystem

Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in openEuler kernel on Linux (filesystem modules) allows Forced Integer Overflow.This issue affects openEuler kernel: from 4.19.90 before 4.19.90-2401.3, from 5.10.0-60.18.0 before 5.10.0-183.0.0.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local denial-of-service issue in openEuler’s kernel filesystem code. A low-privileged local user could trigger an integer overflow that crashes the kernel, affecting system availability. The sources do not show data theft, privilege escalation, or remote exploitation. Exposure appears limited to openEuler kernel 4.19.90 before 4.19.90-2401.3 and 5.10.0-60.18.0 before 5.10.0-183.0.0. Highest concern is multi-user systems, shared compute, or servers running untrusted local workloads on affected kernels. Treat as a moderate availability risk. Patch during the next planned kernel maintenance window, sooner for shared or business-critical openEuler systems where a local crash could disrupt service. Mitigation focus: Update affected openEuler 4.19.90 kernels to 4.19.90-2401.3 or later.; Update affected openEuler 5.10 kernels to 5.10.0-183.0.0 or later.; Follow the relevant openEuler security bulletin for package-specific update guidance..
