Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix panic during f2fs_resize_fs() f2fs_resize_fs() hangs in below callstack with testcase: • mkfs 16GB image & mount image • dd 8GB fileA • dd 8GB fileB • sync • rm fileA • sync • resize filesystem to 8GB kernel BUG at segment.c:2484!
