Summary

In the Linux kernel XFS filesystem, the function xfs_dq_get_next_id() acquires the ILOCK on the quota inode before calling xfs_iread_extents(). If xfs_iread_extents() fails, the function returns without releasing the lock, causing a lock leak. This can leave the quota inode locked and cause subsequent quota operations to hang.

Risk Assessment

The lock leak can lead to deadlocks or hangs in quota-related operations, potentially disrupting normal system operation.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix. Monitor systems for unusual hangs in quota operations.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fix ilock leak on error in xfs_dq_get_next_id xfs_dq_get_next_id() takes the quota inode ILOCK before calling xfs_iread_extents(). If xfs_iread_extents() fails, the function returns immediately without releasing the lock, leaking the quota inode ILOCK. This can leave the quota inode locked and cause subsequent quota operations to hang. Fix this by jumping to a common unlock path on error instead of returning directly.
