CVE-2026-98941— ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes

Quick assessment

Affected
Linux Linux
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 Linux 内核中，以下漏洞已得到修复： ext4：不要在加密的 inode 上启用大页（large folios） 提交 709f0f1f1bf5（"ext4：在块大小大于页大小时，添加对大页不兼容性的检查"）会在挂载时，如果启用了"encrypt"特性，则禁用大页。然而，如果在已挂载的文件系统上启用该特性，则会绕过上述检查；此时写入加密数据将导致系统崩溃： 修复方法：对于加密的 inode，禁用大页，这与已对使用数据日志（data journaling）的 inode 所采取的措施一致。 该漏洞影响 v6.

Vulnerability Title
ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes Commit 709f0f1f1bf5 ("ext4: add checks for large folio incompatibilities when BS > PS") disables large folios at mount time if the "encrypt" feature is set. However, enabling that feature on a mounted filesystem circumvents that check, and writing encrypted data results in a crash: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028 Workqueue: ext4-rsv-conversion ext4_end_io_rsv_work RIP: 0010:ext4_finish_bio+0xf7/0x3e0 Call Trace: ext4_release_io_end+0x51/0x110 ext4_end_io_end+0x4c/0xe0 ext4_end_io_rsv_work+0xb3/0x100 Fix this by disabling large folios on encrypted inodes, as is already done for inodes that use data journaling. This affects all kernels between v6.19 and v7.2, but it is not needed in v7.3, where the code was significantly refactored.
