Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix fsck inconsistency caused by FGGC of node block During FGGC node block migration, fsck may incorrectly treat the migrated node block as fsync-written data. The reproduction scenario: root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# seq 1 2048 | xargs -n 1 ./test_sync // write inline inode and sync root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# rm -f 1 root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# sync root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# f2fs_io gc_range // move data block in sync mode and not write CP SPO, "fsck --dry-run" find inode has already checkpointed but still with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set The root cause is that GC does not clear the dentry mark and fsync mark during node block migration, leading fsck to misinterpret them as user-issued fsync writes. In BGGC mode, node block migration is handled by f2fs_sync_node_pages(), which guarantees the dentry and fsync marks are cleared before writing. This patch move the set/clear of the fsync|dentry marks into __write_node_folio to make the logic clearer, and ensures the fsync|dentry mark is cleared in FGGC.

Recommended fix High confidence

Linux kernel 6.18.30 or later (6.18.x branch) OR 7.0.7 or later (6.19.x/7.x branch)

  1. Check current kernel version with `uname -r`
  2. Upgrade to Linux kernel 6.18.30 or later if using the 6.18.x stable branch
  3. Upgrade to Linux kernel 7.0.7 or later if using the 6.19.x or 7.x stable branch
  4. Reboot the system to load the new kernel
  5. Verify the kernel version after reboot with `uname -r`
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require rebuild of out-of-tree modules and should be tested in a staging environment before production deployment
