CVE-2022-50519 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: replace WARN_ONs by nilfs_error for checkpoint acquisition failure If creation or finalization of a checkpoint fails due to anomalies in the checkpoint metadata on disk, a kernel warning is generated. This patch replaces the WARN_ONs by nilfs_error, so that a kernel, booted with panic_on_warn, does not panic. A nilfs_error is appropriate here to handle the abnormal filesystem condition. This also replaces the detected error codes with an I/O error so that neither of the internal error codes is returned to callers.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's nilfs2 filesystem has been addressed by modifying how checkpoint acquisition failures are reported. Previously, if a checkpoint creation or finalization failed due to corruption in the checkpoint metadata, the kernel would issue a warning. This patch changes the warning to a nilfs_error, preventing a kernel panic in systems configured to panic on warnings. The update also standardizes the error codes to reflect an I/O error, ensuring that internal error codes are not exposed to callers.
Users can upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
