7.8 HIGH — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jbd2: remove wrong sb->s_sequence check Journal emptiness is not determined by sb->s_sequence == 0 but rather by sb->s_start == 0 (which is set a few lines above). Furthermore 0 is a valid transaction ID so the check can spuriously trigger. Remove the invalid WARN_ON.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 5.4.293) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.237) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.181) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.135) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.88) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.24) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.13.12) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.14 < 6.14.3) • debian debian linux 11.0
