CVE-2026-68459

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's f2fs Flash-Friendly File System component. When a device is mounted with the gcmerge option, a specific interaction between kernel worker threads, the garbage collection thread, and the truncator can lead to a deadlock in the f2fsbalancefs function. This...

The vulnerability of the check_swap_activate() function in the fs/f2fs/data.c file of the F2FS file system in the Linux operating system allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the checkswapactivate function in the fs/f2fs/data.c file of the Linux operating system’s F2FS kernel relates to the improper disabling or release of resources. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibili...
