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

exfat: add cluster chain loop check for dir

An infinite loop may occur if the following conditions occur due to file system corruption.

(1) Condition for exfatcountdir_entries() to loop infinitely. - The cluster chain includes a loop. - There is no UNUSED entry in the cluster chain.

(2) Condition for exfatcreateupcase_table() to loop infinitely. - The cluster chain of the root directory includes a loop. - There are no UNUSED entry and up-case table entry in the cluster chain of the root directory.

(3) Condition for exfatloadbitmap() to loop infinitely. - The cluster chain of the root directory includes a loop. - There are no UNUSED entry and bitmap entry in the cluster chain of the root directory.

(4) Condition for exfatfinddir_entry() to loop infinitely. - The cluster chain includes a loop. - The unused directory entries were exhausted by some operation.

(5) Condition for exfatcheckdir_empty() to loop infinitely. - The cluster chain includes a loop. - The unused directory entries were exhausted by some operation. - All files and sub-directories under the directory are deleted.

This commit adds checks to break the above infinite loop.
