Summary

In the XFS filesystem in the Linux kernel, the xfs_exchmaps_estimate_overhead function adds bmbt and rmapbt overhead to a local resblks variable, but the final UINT_MAX check still tests req->resblks, the value before overhead was added. The check should apply to the computed value that is later used.

Risk Assessment

Incorrect limit checking could lead to allocating an excessively large block reservation, potentially causing system crash or other unexpected behavior.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that fixes the limit check to use the computed reservation value.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fix exchmaps reservation limit check xfs_exchmaps_estimate_overhead() adds the bmbt and rmapbt overhead to a local resblks variable, but the final UINT_MAX check still tests req->resblks. That is the reservation value from before the overhead was added. The computed value is stored back in req->resblks and later passed to xfs_trans_alloc(), whose block reservation argument is unsigned int. Check the computed reservation so the existing limit applies to the value that will be used.
