CVE-2023-53526
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: check 'jh->b_transaction' before removing it from checkpoint
Following process will corrupt ext4 image: Step 1: jbd2_journal_commit_transaction __jbd2_journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction) // Put jh into trans1->t_checkpoint_list journal->j_checkpoint_transactions = commit_transaction // Put trans1 into journal->j_checkpoint_transactions
Step 2: do_get_write_access test_clear_buffer_dirty(bh) // clear buffer dirty，set jbd dirty __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, transaction) // jh belongs to trans2
Step 4: jbd2_log_do_checkpoint trans1 = journal->j_checkpoint_transactions // jh is not in trans1->t_checkpoint_list jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(journal) // trans1 is done

Step 5: Power cut, trans2 is not committed, jh is lost in next mounting.
Fix it by checking 'jh->b_transaction' before remove it from checkpoint.

Step 3: drop_cache journal_shrink_one_cp_list jbd2_journal_try_remove_checkpoint if (!trylock_buffer(bh)) // lock bh, true if (buffer_dirty(bh)) // buffer is not dirty __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh) // remove jh from trans1->t_checkpoint_list
