Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-18 12:12:19 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix null-ptr-deref in f2fs_get_dnode_of_data

There is issue as follows when test f2fs atomic write:
F2FS-fs (loop0): Can't find valid F2FS filesystem in 2th superblock
F2FS-fs (loop0): invalid crc_offset: 0
F2FS-fs (loop0): f2fs_check_nid_range: out-of-range nid=1, run fsck to fix.
F2FS-fs (loop0): f2fs_check_nid_range: out-of-range nid=2, run fsck to fix.

As 3db1de0e582c commit changed atomic write way which new a cow_inode for
atomic write file, and also mark cow_inode as FI_ATOMIC_FILE.
When f2fs_do_write_data_page write cow_inode will use cow_inode's cow_inode
which is NULL. Then will trigger null-ptr-deref.
To solve above issue, introduce FI_COW_FILE flag for COW inode.
