    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ext4: fix corruption during on-line resize

    We observed a corruption during on-line resize of a file system that is
    larger than 16 TiB with 4k block size. With having more then 2^32 blocks
    resize_inode is turned off by default by mke2fs. The issue can be
    reproduced on a smaller file system for convenience by explicitly
    turning off resize_inode. An on-line resize across an 8 GiB boundary (the
    size of a meta block group in this setup) then leads to a corruption:

      dev=/dev/<some_dev> # should be >= 16 GiB
      mkdir -p /corruption
      /sbin/mke2fs -t ext4 -b 4096 -O ^resize_inode $dev $((2 * 2**21 - 2**15))
      mount -t ext4 $dev /corruption

      dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 of=/corruption/test count=$((2*2**21 - 4*2**15))
      sha1sum /corruption/test
      # 79d2658b39dcfd77274e435b0934028adafaab11  /corruption/test

      /sbin/resize2fs $dev $((2*2**21))
      # drop page cache to force reload the block from disk
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

      sha1sum /corruption/test
      # 3c2abc63cbf1a94c9e6977e0fbd72cd832c4d5c3  /corruption/test

    2^21 = 2^15*2^6 equals 8 GiB whereof 2^15 is the number of blocks per
    block group and 2^6 are the number of block groups that make a meta
    block group.

    The last checksum might be different depending on how the file is laid
    out across the physical blocks. The actual corruption occurs at physical
    block 63*2^15 = 2064384 which would be the location of the backup of the
    meta block group's block descriptor. During the on-line resize the file
    system will be converted to meta_bg starting at s_first_meta_bg which is
    2 in the example - meaning all block groups after 16 GiB. However, in
    ext4_flex_group_add we might add block groups that are not part of the
    first meta block group yet. In the reproducer we achieved this by
    substracting the size of a whole block group from the point where the
    meta block group would start. This must be considered when updating the
    backup block group descriptors to follow the non-meta_bg layout. The fix
    is to add a test whether the group to add is already part of the meta
    block group or not.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
