Subject: CVE-2025-38194: jffs2: check that raw node were preallocated before writing summary
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: check that raw node were preallocated before writing summary
Syzkaller detected a kernel bug in jffs2_link_node_ref, caused by fault
injection in jffs2_prealloc_raw_node_refs. jffs2_sum_write_sumnode doesn't
check return value of jffs2_prealloc_raw_node_refs and simply lets any
error propagate into jffs2_sum_write_data, which eventually calls
jffs2_link_node_ref in order to link the summary to an expectedly allocated
node.

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:
