Hello All, There was a bug in the linux kernel's hugetlbfs handling of punching holes in huegtlbfs files with either truncate or fallocate. The problem was introduced in 1bfad99ab (" hugetlbfs: hugetlb_vmtruncate_list() needs to take a range", 4.3-rc1) and, I think, fixed in 9aacdd354d19 ("fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c: fix bugs in hugetlb_vmtruncate_list(), 4.5-rc1). This issue was assigned CVE-2016-0617. jch
