{"cve":"CVE-2022-49068","nvd":{"published":"2025-02-26T07:00:44.027","modified":"2026-06-17T05:16:59.537","status":"Analyzed","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbtrfs: release correct delalloc amount in direct IO write path\n\nRunning generic/406 causes the following WARNING in btrfs_destroy_inode()\nwhich tells there are outstanding extents left.\n\nIn btrfs_get_blocks_direct_write(), we reserve a temporary outstanding\nextents with btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata() (or indirectly from\nbtrfs_delalloc_reserve_space(()). We then release the outstanding extents\nwith btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(). However, the \"len\" can be modified\nin the COW case, which releases fewer outstanding extents than expected.\n\nFix it by calling btrfs_delalloc_release_extents() for the original length.\n\nTo reproduce the warning, the filesystem should be 1 GiB.  It's\ntriggering a short-write, due to not being able to allocate a large\nextent and instead allocating a smaller one.\n\n  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 757 at fs/btrfs/inode.c:8848 btrfs_destroy_inode+0x1e6/0x210 [btrfs]\n  Modules linked in: btrfs blake2b_generic xor lzo_compress\n  lzo_decompress raid6_pq zstd zstd_decompress zstd_compress xxhash zram\n  zsmalloc\n  CPU: 0 PID: 757 Comm: umount Not tainted 5.17.0-rc8+ #101\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS d55cb5a 04/01/2014\n  RIP: 0010:btrfs_destroy_inode+0x1e6/0x210 [btrfs]\n  RSP: 0018:ffffc9000327bda8 EFLAGS: 00010206\n  RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff888100548b78 RCX: 0000000000000000\n  RDX: 0000000000026900 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff888100548b78\n  RBP: ffff888100548940 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff88810b48aba8\n  R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffff8881004eb240 R12: ffff88810b48a800\n  R13: ffff88810b48ec08 R14: ffff88810b48ed00 R15: ffff888100490c68\n  FS:  00007f8549ea0b80(0000) GS:ffff888237c00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n  CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n  CR2: 00007f854a09e733 CR3: 000000010a2e9003 CR4: 0000000000370eb0\n  DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\n  DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\n  Call Trace:\n   <TASK>\n   destroy_inode+0x33/0x70\n   dispose_list+0x43/0x60\n   evict_inodes+0x161/0x1b0\n   generic_shutdown_super+0x2d/0x110\n   kill_anon_super+0xf/0x20\n   btrfs_kill_super+0xd/0x20 [btrfs]\n   deactivate_locked_super+0x27/0x90\n   cleanup_mnt+0x12c/0x180\n   task_work_run+0x54/0x80\n   exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x152/0x160\n   syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x12/0x30\n   do_syscall_64+0x42/0x80\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae\n   RIP: 0033:0x7f854a000fb7","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07cacfd9d9dc134557ac8866c73d570a59b3d1f3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d82ad13c4110e73c7b0392f00534a1502a1b520","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a04d37ddfe4be431b9e52e8504490376ab0a39a4"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:59:48.811064707+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-49068","score":0.00258,"percentile":0.17559,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
