A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem, where the system could create EA inodes while holding a buffer lock, this approach can lead to deadlocks, especially if the filesystem is corrupted...

kernel: ext4: fix uninitialized ratelimit_state->lock access in __ext4_fill_super()

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem within the ext4fillsuper function, where uninitialized access to ratelimitstate-lock can occur, where the sysfs interface is registered before properly initializing rs-lock, potentially allowing other processes to modify rs-interval ...

CVE-2024-42305

CVE-2024-42305 affects the Linux kernel ext4, where a dir-indexing edge case could trigger out-of-bounds access during directory entry splitting when the first two entries are not dot/dotdot. The description and connected material explain that make_indexed_dir() assumed the first two dirents are ...

kernel: ext4: fix corruption during on-line resize

A vulnerability was found in the ext4 filesystem in the Linux kernel during on-line resizing operations. When an ext4 filesystem is resized while mounted, it could lead to data corruption...

kernel: ext4: regenerate buddy after block freeing failed if under fc replay

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem related to the fast commit replay process. During this process, blocks that are already marked as free can be incorrectly marked as free again, leading to the corruption of the buddy bitmap, which is used to track free and allocated blocks...

Linux kernel security vulnerabilities

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel that stems from a failure to properly initialize the lock on the ratelimitstate during initialization of the ext4 filesystem...

USN-6866-1 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-hwe, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-4.15, linux-hwe, linux-kvm, linux-oracle vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data state on write operations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service system crash. CVE-2021-33631 It w...

kernel: ext4: fix bug_on in __es_tree_search caused by bad boot loader inode

A flaw was identified in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel where a malformed or improperly initialized boot loader inode could trigger a BUGON condition inside the estreesearch function. This occurs when the inode’s mode imode is an unexpected type and the code does not...

kernel: ext4: fix deadlock due to mbcache entry corruption

A deadlock vulnerability was found in the ext4 filesystem in the Linux kernel. When manipulating extended attribute xattr blocks, a race condition in non-atomic bitfield updates can cause the mbcache entry state to become corrupted. This leads to an infinite loop in ext4xattrblockset where the co...

kernel: ext4: fix uninititialized value in 'ext4_evict_inode'

An uninitialized variable flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the inode eviction path. A local user can trigger this issue by creating filesystem operations that cause inode allocation to fail before the iflags field is initialized, followed by inode cleanup that attempts to...
