Vulnerability CVE-2021-47007
Published: 2024-02-28

Description:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix panic during f2fs_resize_fs()

f2fs_resize_fs() hangs in below callstack with testcase:
- mkfs 16GB image & mount image
- dd 8GB fileA
- dd 8GB fileB
- sync
- rm fileA
- sync
- resize filesystem to 8GB

kernel BUG at segment.c:2484!
Call Trace:

The root cause is we forgot to check that whether we have enough space
in resized filesystem to store all valid blocks in before-resizing
filesystem, then allocator will run out-of-space during block migration
in free_segment_range().
