{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2022-48631","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth \u003e 0  When walking through an inode extents, the ext4_ext_binsearch_idx() function assumes that the extent header has been previously validated.  However, there are no checks that verify that the number of entries (eh-\u003eeh_entries) is non-zero when depth is \u003e 0.  And this will lead to problems because the EXT_FIRST_INDEX() and EXT_LAST_INDEX() will return garbage and result in this:  [  135.245946] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [  135.247579] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:2258!
