udf: Fix preallocation discarding at indirect extent boundary

Published Oct 21, 2024

Description

When preallocation extent is the first one in the extent block, the code would corrupt extent tree header instead. Fix the problem and use udf_delete_aext() for deleting extent to avoid some code duplication.

Remediation

Red Hat mitigation

To mitigate this issue, prevent the `udf` kernel module from loading by blacklisting it. This can be achieved by creating a configuration file: ```bash echo "blacklist udf" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/udf-blacklist.conf ``` After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. This may impact systems that rely on the UDF filesystem for mounting media.
