NFS/ksmbd server writes use kernel bvec iterators and do not hit this user-buffer fault path.\nAC:L - An attacker can reliably trigger copied==0 by racing munmap/remap against write() on an already-uptodate folio (TOCTOU after fault_in_iov_iter_readable), controlling both sides of the race on systems where folio size exceeds filesystem block size.\nPR:L - Only standard local write permission to a file on an iomap-backed filesystem (XFS, GFS2, FUSE writeback-cache, zonefs, NTFS) is required; no CAP_SYS_ADMIN or other elevated capability is needed beyond creating/triggering writes to attacker-writable files.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker's own write operations to a writable file; no action by another user or administrator (such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file on the victim's behalf) is needed.\nS:U - Successful exploitation corrupts host kernel heap memory and enables local privilege escalation within the same kernel security domain; it does not inherently cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries.\nC:H - ifs_set_range_dirty() with len==0 underflows to SIZE_MAX and bitmap_set() writes far beyond the small kzalloc_flex(ifs->state) allocation, corrupting adjacent kmalloc objects in ways that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The out-of-bounds bitmap_set() is a large heap overwrite primitive adjacent to the iomap_folio_state allocation, enabling control of kernel data structures and arbitrary code execution via standard heap exploitation techniques.\nA:H - The massive out-of-bounds write can immediately corrupt critical kernel heap metadata or adjacent objects, causing kernel oops/panic or unrecoverable memory corruption even before full exploitation is attempted." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/iomap/buffered-io.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "4ce02c67972211be488408c275c8fbf19faf29b3", "lessThan": "48829622212f6b8f49155889aecc818ba28ba680", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4ce02c67972211be488408c275c8fbf19faf29b3", "lessThan": "fb4fad9105c88b1d82f1b3c39e3b6abea8249af6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4ce02c67972211be488408c275c8fbf19faf29b3", "lessThan": "7037e7bdcd26f46c080b8ce307dee5cb471c4b7c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4ce02c67972211be488408c275c8fbf19faf29b3", "lessThan": "c5b6a48a8a716a7730e39af1cad083dc4ec955ce", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4ce02c67972211be488408c275c8fbf19faf29b3", "lessThan": "9c7d8f7c8994c790fca501dc45ce66e7356cbe05", "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/iomap/buffered-io.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.6", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.153", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.42", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "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": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.153" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.101" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.42" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/48829622212f6b8f49155889aecc818ba28ba680" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb4fad9105c88b1d82f1b3c39e3b6abea8249af6" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7037e7bdcd26f46c080b8ce307dee5cb471c4b7c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c5b6a48a8a716a7730e39af1cad083dc4ec955ce" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c7d8f7c8994c790fca501dc45ce66e7356cbe05" } ], "title": "iomap: fix out-of-bounds bitmap_set() with zero-length range", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-68145", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:44:49.261769Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-190", "description": "CWE-190 Integer Overflow or Wraparound" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-19T20:58:53.891Z" } } ] } }
