Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-80644)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-80644). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: don't BUG_ON an invalid journal dinode
[BUG]
A fuzzed OCFS2 image can corrupt the current slot journal dinode while
mount is still in progress. The mount path first reports the invalid
journal block and then crashes in shutdown:

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_journal_toggle_dirty() used to return -EIO when journal->j_bh no
longer contained a valid dinode, because the startup and shutdown paths
already handled that failure. Commit 10995aa2451a
("ocfs2: Morph the haphazard OCFS2_IS_VALID_DINODE() checks.") changed
the check to a BUG_ON() under the assumption tha…
