This could be reproduced by running generic/526 with a file\nsystem that has inline_data and fast_commit enabled. The system will\nrepeatedly log to the console:\n\nEXT4-fs warning (device dm-3): ext4_block_to_path:105: block 1074800922 > max in inode 131076\n\nand the stack that it gets stuck in is:\n\n ext4_block_to_path+0xe3/0x130\n ext4_ind_map_blocks+0x93/0x690\n ext4_map_blocks+0x100/0x660\n skip_hole+0x47/0x70\n ext4_ext_replay_set_iblocks+0x223/0x440\n ext4_fc_replay_inode+0x29e/0x3b0\n ext4_fc_replay+0x278/0x550\n do_one_pass+0x646/0xc10\n jbd2_journal_recover+0x14a/0x270\n jbd2_journal_load+0xc4/0x150\n ext4_load_journal+0x1f3/0x490\n ext4_fill_super+0x22d4/0x2c00\n\nWith this patch, generic/526 still fails, but system is no longer\nlocking up in a tight loop. It's likely the root casue is that\nfast_commit replay is corrupting file systems with inline_data, and we\nprobably need to add better error handling in the fast commit replay\ncode path beyond what is done here, which essentially just breaks the\ninfinite loop without reporting the to the higher levels of the code." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/ext4/extents.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "8016e29f4362e285f0f7e38fadc61a5b7bdfdfa2", "lessThan": "a63474dbf692dd09b50fed592bc41f6de5f102fc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8016e29f4362e285f0f7e38fadc61a5b7bdfdfa2", "lessThan": "27e10c5d31ff1d222c7f797f1ee96d422859ba67", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "8016e29f4362e285f0f7e38fadc61a5b7bdfdfa2", "lessThan": "1fd95c05d8f742abfe906620780aee4dbe1a2db0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/ext4/extents.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.10", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.71", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.14.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.71" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "5.14.10" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a63474dbf692dd09b50fed592bc41f6de5f102fc" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27e10c5d31ff1d222c7f797f1ee96d422859ba67" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1fd95c05d8f742abfe906620780aee4dbe1a2db0" } ], "title": "ext4: add error checking to ext4_ext_replay_set_iblocks()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "type": "CWE", "lang": "en", "description": "CWE-noinfo Not enough information" } ] } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 5.5, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "timestamp": "2024-05-29T18:09:07.067363Z", "id": "CVE-2021-47406", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "version": "2.0.3" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-11-01T19:15:09.194Z" } }, { "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-04T05:39:59.310Z" }, "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a63474dbf692dd09b50fed592bc41f6de5f102fc", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27e10c5d31ff1d222c7f797f1ee96d422859ba67", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1fd95c05d8f742abfe906620780aee4dbe1a2db0", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] } ] } ] } }
