CVE-2025-21752 Detail

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: don't use btrfs_set_item_key_safe on RAID stripe-extents Don't use btrfs_set_item_key_safe() to modify the keys in the RAID stripe-tree, as this can lead to corruption of the tree, which is caught by the checks in btrfs_set_item_key_safe(): BTRFS info (device nvme1n1): leaf 49168384 gen 15 total ptrs 194 free space 8329 owner 12 BTRFS info (device nvme1n1): refs 2 lock_owner 1030 current 1030 [ snip ] item 105 key (354549760 230 20480) itemoff 14587 itemsize 16 stride 0 devid 5 physical 67502080 item 106 key (354631680 230 4096) itemoff 14571 itemsize 16 stride 0 devid 1 physical 88559616 item 107 key (354631680 230 32768) itemoff 14555 itemsize 16 stride 0 devid 1 physical 88555520 item 108 key (354717696 230 28672) itemoff 14539 itemsize 16 stride 0 devid 2 physical 67604480 [ snip ] BTRFS critical (device nvme1n1): slot 106 key (354631680 230 32768) new key (354635776 230 4096) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/ctree.c:2602!
