Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ext4: replace BUG_ON with proper error handling in ext4_read_inline_folio<br /> <br /> Replace BUG_ON() with proper error handling when inline data size<br /> exceeds PAGE_SIZE. This prevents kernel panic and allows the system to<br /> continue running while properly reporting the filesystem corruption.<br /> <br /> The error is logged via ext4_error_inode(), the buffer head is released<br /> to prevent memory leak, and -EFSCORRUPTED is returned to indicate<br /> filesystem corruption.
