[PATCH] jfs: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in dbAllocBits
From: Jun Yeong Kim
Date: Sat Mar 21 2026 - 09:30:13 EST
When the underlying loop device backend storage is
dynamically changed (e.g., via LOOP_SET_FD), JFS fails
to update its internal block allocation metadata.
This causes the `dbAllocBits` function to use outdated
db_agl2size information, resulting in a wrong,
oversized agno value.
This oversized agno leads to a slab-out-of-bounds read access when
accessing mp->db_agfree[agno].
Fix this by adding a bounds check for the calculated agno. If agno
is less than 0 or exceeds MAXAG, return -EIO to prevent the OOB access.
