From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: zoned: skip splitting and logical rewriting on pre-alloc write

When doing a relocation, there is a chance that at the time of
btrfs_reloc_clone_csums(), there is no checksum for the corresponding
region.

In this case, btrfs_finish_ordered_zoned()'s sum points to an invalid item
and so ordered_extent's logical is set to some invalid value. Then,
btrfs_lookup_block_group() in btrfs_zone_finish_endio() failed to find a
block group and will hit an assert or a null pointer dereference as
following.

This can be reprodcued by running btrfs/028 several times (e.g, 4 to 16
times) with a null_blk setup. The device's zone size and capacity is set to
32 MB and the storage size is set to 5 GB on my setup.

On the zoned mode, writing to pre-allocated region means data relocation
write. Such write always uses WRITE command so there is no need of splitting
and rewriting logical address. Thus, we can just skip the function for the
case.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-54080 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:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d3cfa44164688a076e8b476cafb5df87d07cfa63
