CVE-2024-43828
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying fast_commit
When doing fast_commit replay an infinite loop may occur due to an uninitialized extent_status struct. ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() does not detect the replay and calls ext4_es_find_extent_range(), which will return immediately without initializing the 'es' variable.
Because 'es' contains garbage, an integer overflow may happen causing an infinite loop in this function, easily reproducible using fstest generic/039.
This commit fixes this issue by unconditionally initializing the structure in function ext4_es_find_extent_range().
Thanks to Zhang Yi, for figuring out the real problem!
