CVE-2022-50485

EUVD-2025-32374
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: add EXT4_IGET_BAD flag to prevent unexpected bad inode

There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget()
returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad
inode to be returned, because the inode may not be initialized. This
mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To solve this
problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag
we'd be returning bad inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return
the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by Jan Kara)
