lookup and file read) against a mounted HFS volume; there is no remote or network-facing path into fs/hfs.\nAC:L - No race and no unusual precondition — the uninitialized fields are read deterministically on the very first lookup or extent access after inode allocation, and the attacker can groom the inode slab to control the stale contents.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with ordinary access to an already-mounted HFS filesystem (auto-mounted removable media, or an admin-mounted Mac disk) reaches hfs_new_inode() via mkdir/create and hfs_inode_read_fork() via any inode read; no capability is needed for the trigger itself.\nUI:N - Once the HFS volume is mounted, the attacker triggers the uninitialized reads entirely through their own syscalls with no action from any other user.\nS:U - The uninitialized reads and their consequences stay within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Stale kernel-heap bytes leak to userspace through the tz_secondswest-derived timestamp delta exposed by stat(), and stale cached_extents used as disk block numbers cause hfs_get_block() to map and return arbitrary out-of-file sectors of the block device to the reader.\nI:H - With create=1 the bogus dblock from uninit cached_extents makes writes land on arbitrary device sectors, and __hfs_ext_write_extent() keys B-tree records off the stale cached_start, corrupting the on-disk extents B-tree and adjacent filesystem data.\nA:H - Garbage block mappings and a corrupted extents B-tree drive hfs's unhardened bnode code into out-of-bounds accesses and I/O failures, causing oopses and rendering the mounted filesystem unusable." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus":
