CVE-2021-47432 is an integer-overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel generic radix-tree implementation. The overflow occurs in the peek() operation in lib/generic-radix-tree.c when processing corner cases exposed by inode numbers distributed across much of the 64-bit inode-number space. The resulting invalid arithmetic can cause a kernel oops.
