CVE-2022-50021

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb()

Block range to free is validated in ext4_free_blocks() using
ext4_inode_block_valid() and then it's passed to ext4_mb_clear_bb().
However in some situations on bigalloc file system the range might be
adjusted after the validation in ext4_free_blocks() which can lead to
troubles on corrupted file systems such as one found by syzkaller that
resulted in the following BUG

Fix it by making sure that the block range is properly validated before
used every time it changes in ext4_free_blocks() or ext4_mb_clear_bb().

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
