    ==================================================================

    In the above issue, ioctl invokes the swap_inode_boot_loader function to
    swap inode<5> and inode<12>. However, inode<5> contain incorrect imode and
    disordered extents, and i_nlink is set to 1. The extents check for inode in
    the ext4_iget function can be bypassed bacause 5 is EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO.
    While links_count is set to 1, the extents are not initialized in
    swap_inode_boot_loader. After the ioctl command is executed successfully,
    the extents are swapped to inode<12>, in this case, run the `cat` command
    to view inode<12>. And Bug_ON is triggered due to the incorrect extents.

    When the boot loader inode is not initialized, its imode can be one of the
    following:
    1) the imode is a bad type, which is marked as bad_inode in ext4_iget and
       set to S_IFREG.
    2) the imode is good type but not S_IFREG.
    3) the imode is S_IFREG.

    The BUG_ON may be triggered by bypassing the check in cases 1 and 2.
    Therefore, when the boot loader inode is bad_inode or its imode is not
    S_IFREG, initialize the inode to avoid triggering the BUG.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
