LIN1021-12236 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2024-50218

Created: Nov 10, 2024    Updated: May 27, 2025
Resolved Date: May 21, 2025
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.25
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: pass u64 to ocfs2_truncate_inline maybe overflow

Syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_truncate_inline.  There are two
reasons for this: first, the parameter value passed is greater than
ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr, second, the start and end parameters of
ocfs2_truncate_inline are "unsigned int".

So, we need to add a sanity check for byte_start and byte_len right before
ocfs2_truncate_inline() in ocfs2_remove_inode_range(), if they are greater
than ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr return -EINVAL.
