VULNERABILITIES

CVE-2026-72225 Details

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jbd2: fix integer underflow in jbd2_journal_initialize_fast_commit() jbd2_journal_initialize_fast_commit() validates journal capacity by checking (journal->j_last - num_fc_blks < JBD2_MIN_JOURNAL_BLOCKS). Both j_last and num_fc_blks are unsigned, so when num_fc_blks exceeds j_last the subtraction wraps to a large value, bypassing the bounds check. The resulting underflow corrupts j_last, j_fc_first, and j_free, leading to journal abort. Fix by checking num_fc_blks against j_last before the subtraction, returning -EFSCORRUPTED.
