  "summary": "f2fs: fix incorrect FI_NO_EXTENT handling in __destroy_extent_node()",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: fix incorrect FI_NO_EXTENT handling in __destroy_extent_node()\n\nWhen __destroy_extent_node() sets the inode flag FI_NO_EXTENT, it does\nnot reset the length of the largest extent to 0 and update the inode\nfolio. Since modifications to the extent tree are disallowed afterward,\nthe cached largest extent may become stale. This can trigger the\nfollowing error in xfstests generic/388:\n\nF2FS-fs (dm-0): sanity_check_extent_cache: inode (ino=1761) extent info [220057, 57, 6] is incorrect, run fsck to fix\n\nIn the f2fs_drop_inode path, __destroy_extent_node() does not need to\nguarantee that et->node_cnt is 0, because concurrency with writeback\nis expected in this path, and writeback may update the extent cache.\n\nThis patch reverts commit ed78aeebef05 (\"f2fs: fix node_cnt race between\nextent node destroy and writeback\"), and remove the unnecessary zero\ncheck of et->node_cnt.",

      "scenario": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local VFS filesystem activity (write, unlink, concurrent writeback) on an F2FS mount, most severely on Android/embedded userdata partitions where F2FS is the default local filesystem.\nAC:L - An attacker can reliably orchestrate the inode-eviction/writeback race by unlinking files while writeback is in progress on the same inode, controlling both sides of the concurrency window.\nPR:L - Triggering the race requires only unprivileged write access to files on a mounted F2FS filesystem (e.g., creating, writing, and unlinking files in one's own directory on Android /data), not real root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no action from a separate victim; the attacker drives the file I/O and unlink operations that provoke the stale extent-cache state.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel/filesystem integrity on the affected host; there is no cross-security-authority boundary such as VM escape or container-to-host breakout.\nC:H - Stale largest-extent metadata persisted to the on-disk inode can cause subsequent reads (after inode reload or inode-number reuse) to map logical file offsets to wrong physical blocks, disclosing data from other files or freed blocks.\nI:H - Incorrect on-disk extent metadata corrupts the inode-to-block mapping and can cause wrong data blocks to be associated with a file, constituting exploitable filesystem metadata corruption with integrity impact beyond a simple crash.\nA:H - The stale cache triggers sanity_check_extent_cache failures (as seen in xfstests generic/388), f2fs_handle_error(ERROR_CORRUPTED_INODE), and potential kernel BUG_ON via f2fs_bug_on when CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS is enabled, all causing denial of filesystem or kernel service."
