Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ceph: fix crash after fscrypt_encrypt_pagecache_blocks() error<br />
<br />
The function move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() was created by commit<br />
ce80b76dd327 ("ceph: introduce ceph_process_folio_batch() method") by<br />
moving code from ceph_writepages_start() to this function.<br />
<br />
This new function is supposed to return an error code which is checked<br />
by the caller (now ceph_process_folio_batch()), and on error, the<br />
caller invokes redirty_page_for_writepage() and then breaks from the<br />
loop.<br />
<br />
However, the refactoring commit has gone wrong, and it by accident, it<br />
always returns 0 (= success) because it first NULLs the pointer and<br />
then returns PTR_ERR(NULL) which is always 0. This means errors are<br />
silently ignored, leaving NULL entries in the page array, which may<br />
later crash the kernel.<br />
<br />
The simple solution is to call PTR_ERR() before clearing the pointer.
