This was intended to skip the check on the first extent, but in the error image above, prev=0+1-1=0 when checking the second extent, so even though lblock<=prev, the function does not return an error. As a result, bug_ON occurs in __es_tree_search and the system panics. To solve this problem, we only need to check that: 1. The lblock of the first extent is not less than 0. 2. The lblock of the next extent is not less than the next block of the previous extent. The same applies to extent_idx.
The vulnerability requires local access to the device to be exploited. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
Probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
