      <title>CVE-2026-53368 — f2fs: fix fsck inconsistency caused by incorrect nat_entry flag usage</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-53368</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;f2fs: fix fsck inconsistency caused by incorrect nat_entry flag usage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;f2fs_need_dentry_mark() reads nat_entry flags without mutual exclusion
with the checkpoint path, which can result in an incorrect inode block
marking state. The scenario is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;create &amp;amp; write &amp;amp; fsync &amp;#39;file A&amp;#39;                 write checkpoint
- f2fs_do_sync_file // inline inode
 - f2fs_write_inode // inode folio is dirty
                                                - f2fs_write_checkpoint
                                                 - f2fs_flush_merged_writes
                                                 - f2fs_sync_node_pages
 - f2fs_fsync_node_pages // no dirty node
 - f2fs_need_inode_block_update // return true
 - f2fs_fsync_node_pages // inode dirtied
  - f2fs_need_dentry_mark //return true
                                                 - f2fs_flush_nat_entries
                                                - f2fs_write_checkpoint end
  - __write_node_folio // inode with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set
  SPO, &amp;#34;fsck --dry-run&amp;#34; find inode has already checkpointed but still
  with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The state observed by f2fs_need_dentry_mark() can differ from the state
observed in __write_node_folio() after acquiring sbi-&amp;gt;node_write. The
root cause is that the semantics of IS_CHECKPOINTED and
HAS_FSYNCED_INODE are only guaranteed after the checkpoint write has
fully completed.&lt;/p&gt;
