Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
f2fs: fix to cover read extent cache access with lock<br />
<br />
syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sanity_check_extent_cache+0x370/0x410 fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c:46<br />

<br />
We missed to cover sanity_check_extent_cache() w/ extent cache lock,<br />
so, below race case may happen, result in use after free issue.<br />
<br />
- f2fs_iget<br />
- do_read_inode<br />
- f2fs_init_read_extent_tree<br />
: add largest extent entry in to cache<br />
- shrink<br />
- f2fs_shrink_read_extent_tree<br />
- __shrink_extent_tree<br />
- __detach_extent_node<br />
: drop largest extent entry<br />
- sanity_check_extent_cache<br />
: access et->largest w/o lock<br />
<br />
let&#39;s refactor sanity_check_extent_cache() to avoid extent cache access<br />
and call it before f2fs_init_read_extent_tree() to fix this issue.
