In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix bugon in estreesearch caused by bad quota inode We got a issue as fllows: ================================================================== kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extentsstatus.c:202! invalid opcode: 0000 1 PREEMPT SMP...

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...

kernel: ext4: add EXT4_IGET_BAD flag to prevent unexpected bad inode

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: add EXT4IGETBAD flag to prevent unexpected bad inode There are many places that will get unhappy and crash when ext4iget returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad inode to be returned, becaus...

kernel: ext4: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for ext4_check_flag_values

A vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem implementation due to a flaw in how it processes filesystem metadata. An attacker with local privileges could create a malicious ext4 filesystem image to trigger this issue. When the system attempts to mount this malicious image...
