CVE-2023-53450

Опубликовано: 01 окт. 2025
Источник: redhat
CVSS3: 5.5

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: remove a BUG_ON in ext4_mb_release_group_pa() If a malicious fuzzer overwrites the ext4 superblock while it is mounted such that the s_first_data_block is set to a very large number, the calculation of the block group can underflow, and trigger a BUG_ON check. Change this to be an ext4_warning so that we don't crash the kernel.

Отчет

The patch replaces a BUG_ON() in ext4_mb_release_group_pa() with a warning to prevent a kernel panic when the ext4 superblock is corrupted (e.g., s_first_data_block set to an invalid value). Impact is limited to availability: a malicious image or in-memory corruption can crash the kernel via a reachable assertion. For the CVSS the PR:L because exploitation requires mounting or modifying an ext4 volume, operations usually restricted to privileged users.
