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.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.30 < 4.9.331) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.14.296) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.262) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.218) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.148) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.74) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.19.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.0 < 6.0.2)
