Summary

In the Linux kernel, the f2fs filesystem may trigger a kernel panic during recovery when FAULT_BLOCK is on and f2fs_reserve_new_block() returns -ENOSPC. With a fault injection rate of 1, an infinite loop in block reservation is also possible.

Risk Assessment

A kernel panic or loop hang during f2fs recovery can prevent the system from booting and cause service unavailability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that removes bug_on() and limits the block reservation loop count.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to avoid potential panic during recovery During recovery, if FAULT_BLOCK is on, it is possible that f2fs_reserve_new_block() will return -ENOSPC during recovery, then it may trigger panic. Also, if fault injection rate is 1 and only FAULT_BLOCK fault type is on, it may encounter deadloop in loop of block reservation. Let's change as below to fix these issues: - remove bug_on() to avoid panic. - limit the loop count of block reservation to avoid potential deadloop.
