In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: exit gracefully if reloc roots don't match [BUG] Syzbot reported a crash that an ASSERT() got triggered inside prepare_to_merge(). [CAUSE] The root cause of the triggered ASSERT() is we can have a race between quota tree creation and relocation. This leads us to create a duplicated quota tree in the btrfs_read_fs_root() path, and since it's treated as fs tree, it would have ROOT_SHAREABLE flag, causing us to create a reloc tree for it. The bug itself is fixed by a dedicated patch for it, but this already taught us the ASSERT() is not something straightforward for developers. [ENHANCEMENT] Instead of using an ASSERT(), let's handle it gracefully and output extra info about the mismatch reloc roots to help debug. Also with the above ASSERT() removed, we can trigger ASSERT(0)s inside merge_reloc_roots() later. Also replace those ASSERT(0)s with WARN_ON()s.
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.
