The unvalidated out-of-order\nextents then trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() due to integer\nunderflow when calculating hole sizes.\n\nFix this by detecting this invalid flag combination early in ext4_iget()\nand rejecting the corrupted inode.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-11-12T10:26:24.498+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T22:02:39.184+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
