The coherent path reads group descriptors through\nocfs2_read_group_descriptor(), which validates the descriptor before\nuse. The non-coherent path uses ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() instead and\nskips that validation, so an impossible bg_bits value can drive the\nbitmap walk past the end of the block.\n\n[FIX]\nCompute the bitmap capacity from the filesystem format with\nocfs2_group_bitmap_size(), report descriptors whose bg_bits exceeds\nthat limit, and clamp the scan to the computed capacity. This keeps the\nfreefrag report going while avoiding reads beyond the buffer.","modified":"2026-07-12T03:54:52.585739095Z","published":"2026-06-24T16:29:46.737Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2026:22521-1","SUSE-SU-2026:22522-1","SUSE-SU-2026:2799-1","SUSE-SU-2026:2800-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/53xxx/CVE-2026-53040.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/05d0cbea41167b6b061c6ba5b70ee5a9a7a24c9e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0998674eec138c55e9e349b9cbd9dbc5129a9cc8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e167e230d19cd273108bab2e4c61800fc335ae8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4c2d62ddde8928db12f4608950b67a20e67deab2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f687eeed3da3012152b0f9473f578869de0cd7b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb2906a1065ec28de021bac2ed03f2624edd7d07"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb3c54d1e71578521111f1a1ee7d5f4761a242b8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0dcf12665d6dde37facf790803cdad44d5c328c"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/53xxx/CVE-2026-53040.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53040"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"d24a10b9f8ed548981696cd36e2b4f16e6f360b1"},{"fixed":"bb2906a1065ec28de021bac2ed03f2624edd7d07"},{"fixed":"3e167e230d19cd273108bab2e4c61800fc335ae8"},{"fixed":"0998674eec138c55e9e349b9cbd9dbc5129a9cc8"},{"fixed":"bb3c54d1e71578521111f1a1ee7d5f4761a242b8"},{"fixed":"05d0cbea41167b6b061c6ba5b70ee5a9a7a24c9e"},{"fixed":"4c2d62ddde8928db12f4608950b67a20e67deab2"},{"fixed":"e0dcf12665d6dde37facf790803cdad44d5c328c"},{"fixed":"8f687eeed3da3012152b0f9473f578869de0cd7b"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-53040.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"3.0.0"},{"fixed":"5.10.258"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.11.0"},{"fixed":"5.15.209"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.16.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.175"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.141"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.91"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.33"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.0.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-53040.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"}]}
