| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2023-49298 | HIGH | 7.5 | Nov 24, 2023 | OpenZFS through 2.1.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.1, in certain scenarios involving applications that try to rely on efficient copying of file data, can replace file contents with zero-valued bytes and thus potentially disable security mechanisms. NOTE: this issue is not always security related, but can be security related in realistic situations. A possible example is cp, from a recent GNU Core Utilities (coreutils) version, when attempting to preserve a rule set for denying unauthorized access. (On |
