Filesystem corruption via unaligned compressed-file truncation
Published Jun 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Improper truncation handling in Linux F2FS 5.14 and later affected branches allows local users to corrupt filesystem metadata. The F2FS partial-truncation path assumes a released compressed inode still has reserved blocks, then changes valid-block accounting without updating i_blocks or total_valid_block_count. A user with write access to a file on a compression-enabled F2FS volume can create persistent accounting inconsistencies that cause fsck failures and can interrupt the filesystem.
