CVE-2024-37078 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's nilfs2 filesystem. It involves a kernel bug triggered by destructive writes to a block device where nilfs2 is mounted. The bug occurs due to the kernel not waiting for ongoing folio/page writebacks before starting new writebacks, causing inconsistent writeback states and kernel crashes. This issue has been fixed by ensuring the kernel waits for ongoing writebacks when putting folios/pages into writeback state.
