In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on F2FS_INLINE_DATA flag in inode during GC<br />
<br />
syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:<br />

kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inline.c:258!<br />

<br />
The root cause is: inline_data inode can be fuzzed, so that there may<br />
be valid blkaddr in its direct node, once f2fs triggers background GC<br />
to migrate the block, it will hit f2fs_bug_on() during dirty page<br />
writeback.<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s add sanity check on F2FS_INLINE_DATA flag in inode during GC,<br />
so that, it can forbid migrating inline_data inode&#39;s data block for<br />
fixing.
