In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix ext4_mb_mark_bb() with flex_bg with fast_commit
In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group. ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results into a data abort.
This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different block group.
w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform.
