Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> fs,fsverity: remove check for fsverity being enabled in setattr_prepare()<br /> <br /> The check that fs-verity is available in the kernel is not necessary<br /> here. Filesystems could have fsverity files even without fs-verity<br /> enabled. In that case, truncate on fsverity file will succeed, what this<br /> check is trying to prevent.
