In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to check readonly condition correctly
With below case, it can mount multi-device image w/ rw option, however
one of secondary device is set as ro, later update will cause panic, so
let's introduce f2fs_dev_is_readonly(), and check multi-devices rw status
in f2fs_remount() w/ it in order to avoid such inconsistent mount status.
mkfs.f2fs -c /dev/zram1 /dev/zram0 -f
blockdev --setro /dev/zram1
mount -t f2fs dev/zram0 /mnt/f2fs
mount: /mnt/f2fs: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.
mount -t f2fs -o remount,rw mnt/f2fs
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=1M count=8192
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inline.c:258!
