No remote or adjacent reachability exists.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the on-disk di_nlink and di_fileset fields in the aggregate inode table, so the corrupted inode is produced deterministically; the deadlock and the diFree()-on-metadata-inode path follow with no race or memory-layout condition outside attacker control.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user is sufficient in common deployments \u2014 udisks2 auto-mounts attacker-supplied removable media for a desktop session, and the trigger itself (jfs_mkdir \u2192 diAlloc \u2192 diNewIAG \u2192 duplicateIXtree \u2192 diReadSpecial) passes no capability check. JFS lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so mounting is not free, but it does not require real root in the init namespace in these scenarios.\nUI:N - Once the attacker can present the image (their own loop mount, inserted media auto-mounted for them, or a disk image handed to a host), they complete the attack alone with a plain mkdir; no separate victim action is needed.\nS:U - The corruption and the hang are confined to the kernel's own security authority \u2014 filesystem metadata, imap structures, and kernel locks. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unvalidated nlink==0 causes an in-use aggregate metadata inode to be prematurely evicted and destroyed while metapages and transaction tlocks still reference it, and lets diFree() free a metadata inode number so it can later be re-handed out as a regular file aliasing the fixed inode table \u2014 a use-after-free/aliasing primitive leveragable to read kernel and on-disk metadata.\nI:H - diFree() on a metadata inode rewrites iagp->wmap[], imap->im_agctl[].inofree/numfree and the IAG free-list linkage and commits the corruption via write_metapage(); subsequent diAllocIno/diAllocAG then follow attacker-influenced IAG indices, giving arbitrary metadata modification on top of the freed-object write reach.\nA:H - The reported and reproduced impact is a recursive mutex_lock on imap->im_aglock \u2014 a permanent, unkillable deadlock with sb_writers, the directory i_rwsem, im_freelock and rdwrlock held \u2014 wedging the entire mount and blocking umount/freeze/sync, with hung-task panic on systems configured for it."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
