CVE-2022-49170

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to do sanity check on curseg->alloc_type

As Wenqing Liu reported in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215657

• Overview UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/f2fs/segment.c:3460:2 when mount and operate a corrupted image

• Reproduce tested on kernel 5.17-rc4, 5.17-rc6

1. mkdir test_crash
2. cd test_crash
3. unzip tmp2.zip
4. mkdir mnt
5. ./single_test.sh f2fs 2

The root cause is we missed to do sanity check on curseg->alloc_type, result in out-of-bound accessing on sbi->block_count[] array, fix it.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels do not enable support for the Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS) in standard enterprise builds, leaving default configurations unaffected by this vulnerability. Exploitation requires mounting a specially crafted or corrupted filesystem image, an action that typically necessitates local administrative privileges. Consequently, this flaw does not present an operational security risk to supported Red Hat environments.
