CVE-2022-50126 — jbd2: fix assertion 'jh->b_frozen_data == NULL' failure when journal aborted

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jbd2: fix assertion 'jh->b_frozen_data == NULL' failure when journal aborted

Following process will fail assertion 'jh->b_frozen_data == NULL' in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata():

jbd2_journal_commit_transaction unlink(dir/a) jh->b_transaction = trans1 jh->b_jlist = BJ_Metadata journal->j_running_transaction = NULL trans1->t_state = T_COMMIT unlink(dir/b) handle->h_trans = trans2 do_get_write_access jh->b_modified = 0 jh->b_frozen_data = frozen_buffer jh->b_next_transaction = trans2 jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata is_handle_aborted is_journal_aborted // return false

--> jbd2 abort <--

while (commit_transaction->t_buffers) if (is_journal_aborted) jbd2_journal_refile_buffer __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer WRITE_ONCE(jh->b_transaction, jh->b_next_transaction) WRITE_ONCE(jh->b_next_transaction, NULL) __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, BJ_Reserved) J_ASSERT_JH(jh, jh->b_frozen_data == NULL) // assertion failure !
