CVE-2018-13097

Published: 3 July 2018

An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. There is an out-of-bounds read or a divide-by-zero error for an incorrect user_block_count in a corrupted f2fs image, leading to a denial of service (BUG).

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Wen Xu discovered that the f2fs file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate metadata. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious f2fs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash).

fixing git commit subject: "f2fs: fix to do sanity check with
user_block_count"

The affected user base for this issue is likely small since f2fs is
not the default filesystem and it is not widely used in Ubuntu
