Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix double-free of blocks due to wrong extents moved_len

In ext4_move_extents(), moved_len is only updated when all moves are
successfully executed, and only discards orig_inode and donor_inode
preallocations when moved_len is not zero. When the loop fails to exit
after successfully moving some extents, moved_len is not updated and
remains at 0, so it does not discard the preallocations.

If the moved extents overlap with the preallocated extents, the
overlapped extents are freed twice in ext4_mb_release_inode_pa() and
ext4_process_freed_data() (as described in commit 94d7c16cbbbd ("ext4:
Fix double-free of blocks with EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT")), and bb_free is
incremented twice. Hence when trim is executed, a zero-division bug is
triggered in mb_update_avg_fragment_size() because bb_free is not zero
and bb_fragments is zero.

Therefore, update move_len after each extent move to avoid the issue.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: corrige la doble liberación de bloques debido a extensiones incorrectas. moving_len En ext4_move_extents(), move_len solo se actualiza cuando todos los movimientos se ejecutan exitosamente y solo descarta las preasignaciones de orig_inode y donante_inode cuando se mueve_len no es cero. Cuando el bucle no sale después de mover con éxito algunas extensiones, moving_len no se actualiza y permanece en 0, por lo que no descarta las asignaciones previas. Si las extensiones movidas se superponen con las extensiones preasignadas, las extensiones superpuestas se liberan dos veces en ext4_mb_release_inode_pa() y ext4_process_freed_data() (como se describe en el commit 94d7c16cbbbd ("ext4: corrige la doble liberación de bloques con EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT")), y se incrementa bb_free dos veces. Por lo tanto, cuando se ejecuta trim, se activa un error de división cero en mb_update_avg_fragment_size() porque bb_free no es cero y bb_fragments es cero. Por lo tanto, actualice move_len después de cada movimiento de extensión para evitar el problema.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs in the ext4 function, in ext4_move_extents(), where an error in updating the moved_len variable can lead to double-free of blocks and corrupt block accounting. This could lead to crashes or undefined behavior.
