      <title>CVE-2026-63796 — ocfs2: reject oversized group bitmap descriptors</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-63796</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;ocfs2: reject oversized group bitmap descriptors&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ocfs2_validate_gd_parent() only bounds bg_bits against the parent
allocator&amp;#39;s chain geometry.  A malicious descriptor can still claim a
bg_size/bg_bits pair that exceeds the bitmap bytes that physically fit in
the group descriptor block, so later bitmap scans and bit updates can run
past bg_bitmap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add a physical-cap check based on ocfs2_group_bitmap_size() for the parent
allocator type and reject descriptors whose bg_size or bg_bits exceed that
capacity.  Keep the existing chain geometry check so both the on-disk
bitmap layout and the allocator metadata must agree before the descriptor
is used.&lt;/p&gt;
