kernel: f2fs: protect extension_list reading with sb_lock in f2fs_sbi_show()
    </Bugzilla>
    <CWE>CWE-366</CWE>
    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Mitre">
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: protect extension_list reading with sb_lock in f2fs_sbi_show()

In f2fs_sbi_show(), the extension_list, extension_count and
hot_ext_count are read without holding sbi-&gt;sb_lock. If a concurrent
sysfs store modifies the extension list via f2fs_update_extension_list(),
the show path may read inconsistent count and array contents, potentially
leading to out-of-bounds access or displaying stale data.

Fix this by holding sb_lock around the entire extension list read
and format operation.

    <Details xml:lang="en:us" source="Red Hat">
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's f2fs filesystem. This vulnerability allows for potential out-of-bounds memory access or the display of stale data. It occurs because the `extension_list` and related counts are read without proper synchronization, enabling a concurrent system file system (sysfs) store operation to modify the list while it is being accessed. This inconsistency can lead to system instability or incorrect information being presented.
