Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xfs: fix another iunlink infinite loop bug in online fsck<br />
<br />
xrep_iunlink_resolve_bucket is supposed to reconstruct as much of the<br />
incore prev and next unlinked list pointers based on what it finds on<br />
disk and in memory before we move on to relinking the truly lost inodes<br />
back into the unlinked list. However, it&#39;s still vulnerable to infinite<br />
loops that come in via the next_unlinked pointers.<br />
<br />
Fix this problem by remembering which inodes we&#39;ve already seen and<br />
checking new agino pointers against that. If a bit is already set,<br />
either this is a loop or the inode has nonzero link count. We&#39;ll deal<br />
with the second case in a subsequent patch.
