Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't set up encryption key during jbd2 transaction
Commit a80f7fcf1867 ("ext4: fixup ext4_fc_track_* functions' signature")
extended the scope of the transaction in ext4_unlink() too far, making
it include the call to ext4_find_entry(). However, ext4_find_entry()
can deadlock when called from within a transaction because it may need
to set up the directory's encryption key.
Fix this by restoring the transaction to its original scope.
A flaw exists in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel such that the function ext4_unlink() extended a journaling transaction too far so that it included a call to ext4_find_entry(). However, ext4_find_entry() may need to set up a directory’s encryption key — which can cause a deadlock when executed inside a transaction.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
