the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nocfs2: fix kernel BUG in ocfs2_find_victim_chain\n\nsyzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() because the\n`cl_next_free_rec` field of the allocation chain list (next free slot in\nthe chain list) is 0, triggring the BUG_ON(!cl->cl_next_free_rec)\ncondition in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() and panicking the kernel.\n\nTo fix this, an if condition is introduced in ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits(),\njust before calling ocfs2_find_victim_chain(), the code block in it being\nexecuted when either of the following conditions is true:\n\n1. `cl_next_free_rec` is equal to 0, indicating that there are no free\nchains in the allocation chain list\n2. `cl_next_free_rec` is greater than `cl_count` (the total number of\nchains in the allocation chain list)\n\nEither of them being true is indicative of the fact that there are no\nchains left for usage.\n\nThis is addressed using ocfs2_error(), which prints\nthe error log for debugging purposes, rather than panicking the kernel."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/ocfs2/suballoc.c"],"versions":[{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"1f77e5cd563e6387fdf3bb714fcda36cd88ac5e7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"d0fd1f732ea8063cecd07a3879b7d815c7ee71ed","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"b08a33d5f80efe6979a6e8f905c1a898910c21dd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"96f1b074c98c20f55a3b23d2ab44d9fb0f619869","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"e24aedae71652d4119049f1fbef6532ccbe3966d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"7acc0390e0dd7474c4451d05465a677d55ad4268","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ccd979bdbce9fba8412beb3f1de68a9d0171b12c","lessThan":"039bef30e320827bac8990c9f29d2a68cd8adb5f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/ocfs2/suballoc.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2.6.16","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.6.16","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.248","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.198","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.160","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.120","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.64","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.3","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.248"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.198"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.160"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.120"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.64"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.19"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f77e5cd563e6387fdf3bb714fcda36cd88ac5e7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d0fd1f732ea8063cecd07a3879b7d815c7ee71ed"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b08a33d5f80efe6979a6e8f905c1a898910c21dd"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96f1b074c98c20f55a3b23d2ab44d9fb0f619869"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e24aedae71652d4119049f1fbef6532ccbe3966d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7acc0390e0dd7474c4451d05465a677d55ad4268"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/039bef30e320827bac8990c9f29d2a68cd8adb5f"}],"title":"ocfs2:
