local file operations (fallocate + write/writeback, ZERO_RANGE, punch hole) on a mounted ext4 filesystem, requiring local system access rather than any network protocol handler.\nAC:L - The attacker fully drives both stages \u2014 creating unwritten extents and splitting them at will \u2014 and can force the required allocation/IO failure deterministically via an attacker-controlled backing device (-EIO), a crafted extent block (-EFSCORRUPTED), or self-inflicted GFP_NOFS memory pressure (-ENOMEM), so no condition lies outside the attacker's influence.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account with write access to any file on an ext4 filesystem (/tmp, /home, an Android app sandbox on /data, a container writable layer) is needed; no capability, root, or namespace escalation is involved.\nUI:N - The attacker performs fallocate() and writes entirely on their own files and can force writeback via fsync(); no victim action such as mounting an image or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory and filesystem metadata within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stolen buffer_head reference lets a live bh and its folio be freed while still in use, yielding a slab use-after-free whose recycled object contents (b_data, b_page, b_end_io) can be read back, and it can drop a refcount on an unrelated inode's metadata buffer, exposing arbitrary page-cache contents.\nI:H - The refcount underflow produces a use-after-free on a bh_cachep object containing the b_end_io function pointer and list pointers, giving heap-spray-based write and control-flow-hijack primitives, plus corruption of another inode's on-disk metadata buffer.\nA:H - The bug reproducibly triggers a WARN in __brelse() (fatal with panic_on_warn) and, in the reference-stealing case, a use-after-free that oopses the kernel and corrupts filesystem metadata, causing a full system crash."}]}], "affected":
