Subject: CVE-2024-42104: nilfs2: add missing check for inode numbers on directory entries
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: add missing check for inode numbers on directory entries
Syzbot reported that mounting and unmounting a specific pattern of
corrupted nilfs2 filesystem images causes a use-after-free of metadata
file inodes, which triggers a kernel bug in lru_add_fn().
As Jan Kara pointed out, this is because the link count of a metadata file
gets corrupted to 0, and nilfs_evict_inode(), which is called from iput(),
tries to delete that inode (ifile inode in this case).
The inconsistency occurs because directories containing the inode numbers
of these metadata files that should not be visible in the namespace are
read without checking.
Fix this issue by treating the inode numbers of these internal files as
errors in the sanity check helper when reading directory folios/pages.
Also thanks to Hillf Danton and Matthew Wilcox for their initial mm-layer
analysis.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-42104 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
