From e8271fa3908de52937d298b339f9f7984c491cc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:21:04 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid BUG_ON when mouting corrupted image having garbage blocks If the disk has some garbage blocks, F2FS is able to face with BUG_ON when recovering direct node blocks. This patch detects the error case and avoids that prior to reaching BUG_ON. Alexey Khoroshilov addressed the potential security issues as follows. "An ability to trigger a BUG_ON assert by mounting a crafted image is usually considered as a local denial of service [1-3]. As far as I understand, the reason is that some kernel data may become inconsistent that can lead to further problems.
