the trigger does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN once the filesystem is mounted.\nUI:N - The attacker can invoke the xattr operation directly; no additional victim action is needed for the vulnerable code path after the XFS filesystem is available.\nS:U - The corruption occurs inside the kernel/XFS buffer management path and does not cross a separate security authority such as a VM or device isolation boundary.\nC:H - The stale xfs_buf pointer can be released a second time, creating use-after-free/refcount corruption in kernel buffer/log-item objects, which can reasonably support kernel memory disclosure primitives.\nI:H - The double release is kernel memory corruption of reusable buffer-management objects, which is reasonably treatable as exploitable for arbitrary write or control-flow impact under the required higher-severity rule.\nA:H - At minimum, the stale or already freed buffer/log-item path can cause a kernel oops, panic, deadlock, or filesystem shutdown when repeatedly triggered." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "07120f1abdff80f3d1351f733661abe28d609535", "lessThan": "2fbc8421d1db102c0e5458607e042a23a03648b1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "07120f1abdff80f3d1351f733661abe28d609535", "lessThan": "457121c01f609b9934addbb04d5c1ef638c71c61", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "07120f1abdff80f3d1351f733661abe28d609535", "lessThan": "530082df991903f3330354e99e0cb7b05debfa86", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "07120f1abdff80f3d1351f733661abe28d609535", "lessThan": "3a65ea768b8094e4699e72f9ab420eb9e0f3f568", "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/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.9", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.75", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "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": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.75" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.16" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2fbc8421d1db102c0e5458607e042a23a03648b1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/457121c01f609b9934addbb04d5c1ef638c71c61" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/530082df991903f3330354e99e0cb7b05debfa86" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3a65ea768b8094e4699e72f9ab420eb9e0f3f568" } ], "title": "xfs: remove xfs_attr_leaf_hasname", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
