Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-12-24 13:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:24
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: set generation before calling btrfs_clean_tree_block in btrfs_init_new_buffer
syzbot is reporting uninit-value in btrfs_clean_tree_block() [1], for
commit bc877d285ca3dba2 ("btrfs: Deduplicate extent_buffer init code")
missed that btrfs_set_header_generation() in btrfs_init_new_buffer() must
not be moved to after clean_tree_block() because clean_tree_block() is
calling btrfs_header_generation() since commit 55c69072d6bd5be1 ("Btrfs:
Fix extent_buffer usage when nodesize != leafsize").
Since memzero_extent_buffer() will reset "struct btrfs_header" part, we
can't move btrfs_set_header_generation() to before memzero_extent_buffer().
Just re-add btrfs_set_header_generation() before btrfs_clean_tree_block().
