Rocky Linux: CVE-2024-26773: kernel-rt (Multiple Advisories)

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

ext4: avoid allocating blocks from corrupted group in ext4_mb_try_best_found()

Determine if the group block bitmap is corrupted before using ac_b_ex in
ext4_mb_try_best_found() to avoid allocating blocks from a group with a
corrupted block bitmap in the following concurrency and making the
situation worse.

ext4_mb_regular_allocator
ext4_lock_group(sb, group)
ext4_mb_good_group
// check if the group bbitmap is corrupted
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group
// Scan group gets ac_b_ex but doesn't use it
ext4_unlock_group(sb, group)
ext4_mark_group_bitmap_corrupted(group)
// The block bitmap was corrupted during
// the group unlock gap.
ext4_mb_try_best_found
ext4_lock_group(ac->ac_sb, group)
ext4_mb_use_best_found
mb_mark_used
// Allocating blocks in block bitmap corrupted group
