A writable F2FS-backed NFS server is a reasonable network-facing deployment.\nAC:L - Once an invalid NID is present, allocation deterministically consumes it from the list head; repeated CREATE requests require no race or timing conditions. Older affected kernels also lacked producer-side range validation, allowing corrupted metadata to seed the list directly.\nPR:N - A writable NFS export accepting AUTH_NULL or unauthenticated AUTH_SYS requests permits CREATE without verified credentials. The allocation path itself performs no capability check.\nUI:N - The attacker can trigger allocation directly with network filesystem operations; no victim action is required during exploitation.\nS:U - The vulnerable filesystem code and the affected kernel memory, execution, and storage resources share the same kernel security authority.\nC:H - The invalid NID causes out-of-bounds bitmap and pointer-array reads, and the resulting kernel memory corruption can plausibly be leveraged to disclose arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - The unchecked index can drive an out-of-bounds bit clear and counter decrement through free_nid_bitmap and free_nid_count, while also committing invalid node and NAT metadata. These writes can plausibly enable control-flow compromise and persistent filesystem corruption.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds accesses can crash or hang the kernel, while invalid node metadata can force checkpoint failure or persistent filesystem unavailability. Network requests can trigger the condition repeatedly." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/f2fs/node.c", "include/linux/f2fs_fs.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "88b2ddb0c4f1dc874d4598e78cc830c64315ed86", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "9337ed5e777e1c19854928cba7a8131dd00e611b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "6b9525596a83cd5b7bbc2c7bd5f9ad9cf5ad60fa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "adbcb34f03abb89e681a5907c4c3ce4bf224991d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "8fc6056dcf79937c46c97fa4996cda65956437a9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/f2fs/node.c", "include/linux/f2fs_fs.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "3.8", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "3.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.175", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.140", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.58", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.17.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.17.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.175" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.140" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.58" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.17.8" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/88b2ddb0c4f1dc874d4598e78cc830c64315ed86" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9337ed5e777e1c19854928cba7a8131dd00e611b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b9525596a83cd5b7bbc2c7bd5f9ad9cf5ad60fa" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/adbcb34f03abb89e681a5907c4c3ce4bf224991d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fc6056dcf79937c46c97fa4996cda65956437a9" } ], "title": "f2fs: fix to detect potential corrupted nid in free_nid_list", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
