In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on node footer in {read,write}_end_io
-----------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/data.c:358!

</IRQ>
In f2fs_write_end_io(), it detects there is inconsistency in between
node page index (nid) and footer.nid of node page.
If footer of node page is corrupted in fuzzed image, then we load corrupted
node page w/ async method, e.g. f2fs_ra_node_pages() or f2fs_ra_node_page(),
in where we won't do sanity check on node footer, once node page becomes
dirty, we will encounter this bug after node page writeback.
