CVE-2026-93258

ocfs2: do not use make_bad_inode() in ocfs2_read_inode_block_full()

Published Sep 24, 2026 CVSS n/a EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: do not use make_bad_inode() in ocfs2_read_inode_block_full()

This reverts commit 58b6fcd2ab34 ("ocfs2: mark inode bad upon validation
failure during read").

Since 'make_bad_inode()' resets inode type to S_IFREG, doing this for
directory inode during active VFS lookup is likely to confuse the latter,
including VFS_BUG_ON_INODE() triggered in this case.
