| Doc Text: |
An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. In ext4_mb_new_inode_pa(), when calculating the end position of ext4_free_extent, the computation can overflow ext4_lblk_t (uint32) to zero. This occurs with large logical block numbers near UINT_MAX, causing a BUG_ON assertion failure and kernel crash during block allocation.
