In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: reject zero bd_oblocknr in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty()
nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() uses bd_oblocknr to detect dead blocks
by comparing it with the current block number bd_blocknr. If they differ,
the block is considered dead and skipped.
However, bd_oblocknr should never be 0 since block 0 typically stores the
primary superblock and is never a valid GC target block. A corrupted ioctl
request with bd_oblocknr set to 0 causes the comparison to incorrectly
match when the lookup returns -ENOENT and sets bd_blocknr to 0, bypassing
the dead block check and calling nilfs_bmap_mark() on a non-existent
block. This causes nilfs_btree_do_lookup() to return -ENOENT, triggering
the WARN_ON(ret == -ENOENT).
Fix this by rejecting ioctl requests with bd_oblocknr set to 0 at the
beginning of each iteration.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nilfs2 filesystem. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted input/output control (ioctl) request to the nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() function. By providing a zero block number, the attacker can bypass a critical dead block check, causing the system to attempt operations on a non-existent block. This ultimately leads to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
