      <title>CVE-2026-43066 — ext4: fix iloc.bh leak in ext4_fc_replay_inode() error paths</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-43066</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ext4: fix iloc.bh leak in ext4_fc_replay_inode() error paths&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During code review, Joseph found that ext4_fc_replay_inode() calls
ext4_get_fc_inode_loc() to get the inode location, which holds a
reference to iloc.bh that must be released via brelse().&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, several error paths jump to the &amp;#39;out&amp;#39; label without
releasing iloc.bh:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() failure
 - sync_dirty_buffer() failure
 - ext4_mark_inode_used() failure
 - ext4_iget() failure&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix this by introducing an &amp;#39;out_brelse&amp;#39; label placed just before
the existing &amp;#39;out&amp;#39; label to ensure iloc.bh is always released.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, make ext4_fc_replay_inode() propagate errors
properly instead of always returning 0.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
