CVE-2024-49880
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix off by one issue in alloc_flex_gd()
Wesley reported an issue:
While reviewing the patch, Honza found that when adjusting resize_bg in alloc_flex_gd(), it was possible for flex_gd->resize_bg to be bigger than flexbg_size.
The reproduction of the problem requires the following:
Take n=0,flexbg_size=16 as an example:
last:15 |o---------------|--------------n-| o_group:0 resize to n_group:30
The corresponding reproducer is:
img=test.img rm -f $img truncate -s 600M $img mkfs.ext4 -F $img -b 1024 -G 16 8M dev=`losetup -f --show $img` mkdir -p /tmp/test mount $dev /tmp/test resize2fs $dev 248M

Delete the problematic plus 1 to fix the issue, and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to prevent the issue from happening again.

CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.24%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 14
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1565.001Stored Data Manipulationimpact70 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact65 %
AV:L sin UI permite escalada local en kernel ext4. Fallo off-by-one en resize genera corrupción de datos (T1565.001) y potencial DoS (T1499.004) al manipular metadatos del sistema de archivos.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
