CVE-2026-43068
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid allocate block from corrupted group in ext4_mb_find_by_goal()
There's issue as follows: ... EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 117 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost
EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 117 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost
EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 206 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 117 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2239 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 117 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost
EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): error count since last fsck: 1 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): initial error at time 1765597433: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:760 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): last error at time 1765597433: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:760 ...
After commit 9008a58e5dce ("ext4: make the bitmap read routines return real error codes") merged, Commit 163a203ddb36 ("ext4: mark block group as corrupt on block bitmap error") is no real solution for allocating blocks from corrupted block groups. This is because if 'EXT4_MB_GRP_BBITMAP_CORRUPT(e4b->bd_info)' is true, then 'ext4_mb_load_buddy()' may return an error. This means that the block allocation will fail. Therefore, check block group if corrupted when ext4_mb_load_buddy() returns error.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
According to the log analysis, blocks are always requested from the
corrupted block group. This may happen as follows:
ext4_mb_find_by_goal
ext4_mb_load_buddy
ext4_mb_load_buddy_gfp
ext4_mb_init_cache
ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait
ext4_wait_block_bitmap
ext4_validate_block_bitmap
if (!grp || EXT4_MB_GRP_BBITMAP_CORRUPT(grp))
return -EFSCORRUPTED; // There's no logs.
if (err)
return err; // Will return error
ext4_lock_group(ac->ac_sb, group);
if (unlikely(EXT4_MB_GRP_BBITMAP_CORRUPT(e4b->bd_info))) // Unreachable
