Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to avoid potential memory corruption in __update_iostat_latency() Add iotype sanity check to avoid potential memory corruption. This is to fix the compile error below: fs/f2fs/iostat.c:231 __update_iostat_latency() error: buffer overflow 'io_lat->peak_lat[type]' 3 <= 3 vim +228 fs/f2fs/iostat.c 211 static inline void __update_iostat_latency(struct bio_iostat_ctx *iostat_ctx, 212 enum iostat_lat_type type) 213 { 214 unsigned long ts_diff; 215 unsigned int page_type = iostat_ctx->type; 216 struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi = iostat_ctx->sbi; 217 struct iostat_lat_info *io_lat = sbi->iostat_io_lat; 218 unsigned long flags; 219 220 if (!sbi->iostat_enable) 221 return; 222 223 ts_diff = jiffies - iostat_ctx->submit_ts; 224 if (page_type >= META_FLUSH) ^^^^^^^^^^ 225 page_type = META; 226 227 spin_lock_irqsave(&sbi->iostat_lat_lock, flags); @228 io_lat->sum_lat[type][page_type] += ts_diff; ^^^^^^^^^ Mixup between META_FLUSH and NR_PAGE_TYPE leads to memory corruption.
