CVE-2024-57806
Linux BTRFS Invalid Simple Quota Flag Setting
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix transaction atomicity bug when enabling simple quotas Set squota incompat bit before committing the transaction that enables the feature. With the config CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT enabled, an assertion failure occurs regarding the simple quota feature. [5.596534] assertion failed: btrfs_fs_incompat(fs_info, SIMPLE_QUOTA), in fs/btrfs/qgroup.c:365 [5.597098] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [5.597371] kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/qgroup.c:365!

This means that if after that transaction commit we unmount the filesystem without starting and committing any other transaction, or we have a power failure, the next time we mount the filesystem we will find the flag BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_SIMPLE_MODE set in the item with the key BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_KEY but we will not find the incompat bit BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_SIMPLE_QUOTA set in the superblock, triggering an assertion failure at: btrfs_read_qgroup_config() -> qgroup_read_enable_gen() To fix this issue, set the BTRFS_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_SIMPLE_QUOTA flag immediately after setting the BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_SIMPLE_MODE. This ensures that both flags are flushed to disk within the same transaction.
