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

fs/jfs: Add validity check for db_maxag and db_agpref

Both db_maxag and db_agpref are used as the index of the
db_agfree array, but there is currently no validity check for
db_maxag and db_agpref, which can lead to errors.

The following is related bug reported by Syzbot:
