In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: Fix system crash due to lack of free space in LFS
When f2fs tries to checkpoint during foreground gc in LFS mode, system
crash occurs due to lack of free space if the amount of dirty node and
dentry pages generated by data migration exceeds free space.
The reproduction sequence is as follows.
- 20GiB capacity block device (null_blk)
- format and mount with LFS mode
- create a file and write 20,000MiB
- 4k random write on full range of the file
