Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to zero post-EOF data when extending file size generic/794 4s ... - output mismatch (see /share/git/fstests/results//generic/794.out.bad) --- tests/generic/794.out 2026-06-12 08:46:32.766426241 +0800 +++ /share/git/fstests/results//generic/794.out.bad 2026-07-05 18:32:55.000000000 +0800 @@ -1,4 +1,16 @@ QA output created by 794 append_write +FAIL: non-zero data in gap [4080,4096) after shutdown+remount +000000 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a >ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ< +* +001000 truncate_up ...

When extending file size (e.g. via truncate, fallocate, or write) across an unaligned EOF boundary, we need to ensure that post-EOF data in the partial page is zeroed out in pagecache and marked dirty, then writeback the cache to persist zeroed data before committing inode w/ updated i_size. This help to prevent stale disk data beyond the previous EOF from being exposed after remounting or crash recovery. Since f2fs is a LFS filesystem, we only support direct write via PBA in pinfile, and pinfile has section-aligned filesize, so in Android, there should no problem, but for other usage in different environment, let's fix this w/ fsync_mode=strict mount option.
