The return value of nilfs_last_byte()\nis also of type \"unsigned int\", but it is truncated so as not to exceed\nPAGE_SIZE and no bit loss occurs, so no change is required." } ], "metrics": [ {

vulnerability is triggered through local filesystem operations (lookup, unlink, rename, getdents) on a mounted nilfs2 image with a corrupted directory i_size; no network protocol handler is involved.\nAC:L - The truncation and subsequent unsigned underflow are fully deterministic once the crafted i_size is present — a single lookup or readdir on the directory reliably walks past the folio, with no race or unpredictable precondition.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user can supply and mount a crafted nilfs2 image via removable-media automount (udisks2) and then trigger the OOB with ordinary directory operations; no elevated capability is needed for the triggering syscalls.\nUI:N - Once the attacker-controlled filesystem is mounted, the attacker triggers the flaw entirely on their own with a lookup/readdir/unlink; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and its consequences remain within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - nilfs_readdir() emits names and inode numbers read from out-of-bounds kernel memory directly to userspace via dir_emit(), giving a repeatable kernel heap disclosure primitive.\nI:H - A name match in out-of-bounds memory lets nilfs_delete_entry() write dir->inode = 0 and pde->rec_len at an attacker-groomable location outside the folio, an out-of-bounds write usable for control-flow corruption.\nA:H - The unbounded ~4 GB scan limit causes access past the folio into unmapped memory, producing a kernel oops/panic (and KASAN use-after-free reports), as observed by syzbot." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
