| Name | CVE-2022-48631 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0
When walking through an inode extents, the ext4_ext_binsearch_idx() function
assumes that the extent header has been previously validated. However, there
are no checks that verify that the number of entries (eh->eh_entries) is
non-zero when depth is > 0. And this will lead to problems because the
EXT_FIRST_INDEX() and EXT_LAST_INDEX() will return garbage and result in this:

This patch simply adds an extra check in __ext4_ext_check(), verifying that
eh_entries is not 0 when eh_depth is > 0. |
