Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on node footer in {read,write}_end_io<br />
<br />
-----------[ cut here ]------------<br />
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/data.c:358!<br />

<br />
<br />
In f2fs_write_end_io(), it detects there is inconsistency in between<br />
node page index (nid) and footer.nid of node page.<br />
<br />
If footer of node page is corrupted in fuzzed image, then we load corrupted<br />
node page w/ async method, e.g. f2fs_ra_node_pages() or f2fs_ra_node_page(),<br />
in where we won&#39;t do sanity check on node footer, once node page becomes<br />
dirty, we will encounter this bug after node page writeback.
