  3. CVE-2022-50205
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext2: Add more validity checks for inode counts Add checks verifying number of inodes stored in the superblock matches the number computed from number of inodes per group. Also verify we have at least one block worth of inodes per group. This prevents crashes on corrupted filesystems.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext2: Se han añadido más comprobaciones de validez para el recuento de inodos. Se han añadido comprobaciones que verifican que el número de inodos almacenados en el superbloque coincida con el calculado a partir del número de inodos por grupo. También se ha verificado que tengamos al menos un bloque de inodos por grupo. Esto evita fallos en sistemas de archivos dañados.
