Kernel crash via unchecked conventional-zone discard
Published Oct 21, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel F2FS 6.10 through 6.11.1 allows local users to crash the kernel during unmount. On conventional zones, f2fs_bdev_support_discard treats any zoned device as discard-capable, so __submit_discard_cmd calls __blkdev_issue_discard and passes its NULL bio to f2fs_bug_on. The fault requires an F2FS filesystem on a zoned block device with conventional zones that lacks discard support, and the resulting BUG interrupts the host.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
