[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 044/100] ext4: disallow files with EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL from EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6e589291f4b1b700ca12baec5930592a0d51e63c ]

A malicious/clueless root user can use EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT to force a
corner casew which can lead to the file system getting corrupted.
There's no usefulness to allowing this, so just prohibit this case.
