CVE-2022-49364 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to clear dirty inode in f2fs_evict_inode() As Yanming reported in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215904 The kernel message is shown below: kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inode.c:825! Call Trace: evict+0x282/0x4e0 __dentry_kill+0x2b2/0x4d0 shrink_dentry_list+0x17c/0x4f0 shrink_dcache_parent+0x143/0x1e0 do_one_tree+0x9/0x30 shrink_dcache_for_umount+0x51/0x120 generic_shutdown_super+0x5c/0x3a0 kill_block_super+0x90/0xd0 kill_f2fs_super+0x225/0x310 deactivate_locked_super+0x78/0xc0 cleanup_mnt+0x2b7/0x480 task_work_run+0xc8/0x150 exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x14a/0x150 syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x1d/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x48/0x90 The root cause is: inode node and dnode node share the same nid, so during f2fs_evict_inode(), dnode node truncation will invalidate its NAT entry, so when truncating inode node, it fails due to invalid NAT entry, result in inode is still marked as dirty, fix this issue by clearing dirty for inode and setting SBI_NEED_FSCK flag in filesystem. output from dump.f2fs: [print_node_info: 354] Node ID [0xf:15] is inode i_nid[0] [0x f : 15]

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
