- Summary
- fs/ntfs3: call _ntfs_bad_inode() when failing to rename
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: call ntfsbad_inode() when failing to rename
It is safe to call ntfsbadinode on live inodes since: commit 519b078998ce ("fs/ntfs3: Exclude call makebad_inode for live nodes.")
The WARN_ON was added when it wasn't safe by: commit d99208b91933 ("fs/ntfs3: cancle set bad inode after removing name fails")
Replace the WARNON with a call to ntfsbadinode() to prevent further operations on the inconsistent inode.
