There is no remote or network-facing path into fs/udf.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the on-disk UDF metadata (indirect extent chains, lengthAllocDescs, extent locations pointing past device capacity) that forces udf_next_aext() into its error paths, and syzbot produced a deterministic C reproducer; no race and no uncontrollable memory-layout precondition is involved.\nPR:L - On mainstream Linux desktops an active unprivileged user can loop-setup and mount a crafted UDF image via udisks2/polkit (allow_active by default) or have removable UDF media automounted, and only ordinary write access to a file is needed to call ftruncate(); no real root in the initial namespace is required in that deployment.\nUI:N - The attacker performs both steps — supplying/mounting the image and issuing the ftruncate() — with no action by any other user in the unprivileged-loop-mount scenario.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and write occur in kernel slab memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The confirmed KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read pulls adjacent kernel heap contents into extent.extLength/extLocation, which are then written into the file's allocation descriptors on the attacker-readable image and used as block addresses, disclosing kernel memory and arbitrary device blocks.\nI:H - The same corrupted extent_position flows into udf_write_aext()/__udf_add_aext(), which write an 8–16 byte allocation descriptor through an unchecked ptr = i_data + epos->offset - alloc_offset + lenEAttr, giving an out-of-bounds slab write with attacker-influenced offset and data — a heap corruption primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds access reliably produces a KASAN/oops kernel crash, and the corrupted i_lenExtents plus huge computed new_elen drive udf_do_extend_file() into unbounded extent creation, so an unprivileged local user can panic or hang the system." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/udf/directory.c", "fs/udf/inode.c", "fs/udf/partition.c", "fs/udf/truncate.c", "fs/udf/udfdecl.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "493447dd8336607fce426f7879e581095f6c606e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "b22d9a5698abf04341f8fbc30141e0673863c3a6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "c226964ec786f3797ed389a16392ce4357697d24", "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/udf/directory.c", "fs/udf/inode.c", "fs/udf/partition.c", "fs/udf/truncate.c", "fs/udf/udfdecl.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.59", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12", "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": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.59" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/493447dd8336607fce426f7879e581095f6c606e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b22d9a5698abf04341f8fbc30141e0673863c3a6" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c226964ec786f3797ed389a16392ce4357697d24" } ], "title": "udf: refactor inode_bmap() to handle error", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 3.3, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "LOW", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-50211", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T20:17:19.011673Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "description": "CWE-noinfo Not enough information" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T20:27:05.842Z" } } ] } }
