Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid allocating blocks from corrupted group in ext4_mb_find_by_goal()
Places the logic for checking if the group's block bitmap is corrupt under
the protection of the group lock to avoid allocating blocks from the group
with a corrupted block bitmap.
A vulnerability was found in the ext4_mb_find_by_goal() function in the Linux kernel. This issue could lead to memory corruption or crashes due to the allocation of blocks from a group with a corrupted block bitmap.
