Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-11 15:30 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: prevent use of deleted inode
syzbot reported a WARNING in nilfs_rmdir. [1]
Because the inode bitmap is corrupted, an inode with an inode number that should exist as a ".nilfs" file was reassigned by nilfs_mkdir for "file0", causing an inode duplication during execution. And this causes an underflow of i_nlink in rmdir operations.
The inode is used twice by the same task to unmount and remove directories ".nilfs" and "file0", it trigger warning in nilfs_rmdir.
Avoid to this issue, check i_nlink in nilfs_iget(), if it is 0, it means that this inode has been deleted, and iput is executed to reclaim it.
