Summary

In the Linux kernel, the XFS filesystem's xfs_rtginode_ensure() treats every error from xfs_rtginode_load() other than -ENOENT as success. This can leave the realtime group inode unset after an I/O, allocation, or corruption error, and growfs continues as though the inode had been loaded.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to incorrect growfs behavior, potentially resulting in data corruption or filesystem malfunction.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that propagates all errors from xfs_rtginode_load() except -ENOENT to the growfs caller.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: propagate errors from xfs_rtginode_load xfs_rtginode_ensure() treats every xfs_rtginode_load() error other than -ENOENT as success. This can leave the realtime group inode unset after an I/O, allocation, or corruption error. Growfs then continues as though the inode had been loaded. Only -ENOENT means that the inode needs to be created. Return all other errors to the growfs caller.
