Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-09 05:02:15 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix infinite loop in __insert_extent_tree()

When we get wrong extent info data, and look up extent_node in rb tree,
it will cause infinite loop (CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS=n). Avoiding this by
return NULL and print some kernel messages in that case.
