No network protocol carries this slot.\nAC:L - A dinode with OCFS2_DIO_ORPHANED_FL and i_dio_orphaned_slot >= osb->max_slots (the reported 0xa1 0\u21921 flip yields slot 256) makes get_local_system_inode() index slot*NUM_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODES past the kzalloc(max_slots*NUM_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODES) cache and igrab the out-of-range pointer with no race.\nPR:N - ocfs2_fs_type lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so mount_capable() requires init-namespace CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The higher-severity case is a crafted loop/LUN image whose recovery runs when an administrator mounts it, so the attacker needs no account or capability on the victim.\nUI:R - The attacker-supplied ocfs2 image must be mounted via ocfs2_fill_super so ocfs2_complete_mount_recovery() can walk DIO orphan dirents and call ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() on the forged i_dio_orphaned_slot. That mount is the required victim action.\nS:U - igrab() of the out-of-range local_system_inodes[] pointer and later ocfs2_inode_lock() stay inside the kernel that mounted the volume; this is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or IOMMU/DMA bypass.\nC:H - get_local_system_inode() reads an 8-byte inode pointer past the slot-local cache, then igrab() and ocfs2_inode_lock() treat it as a live inode. KASAN reported slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode(); a UAF inode object yields an arbitrary kernel read.\nI:H - After igrab() on the OOB/UAF pointer, ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() takes inode_lock and ocfs2_inode_lock on that object and journals orphan-dir mutations through it, which is a type-confused write/control-flow primitive on a freed or adjacent heap object.\nA:H - igrab() on a garbage or I_FREEING pointer hits BUG_ON(!inode) in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode() or the KASAN UAF oops shown on the ocfs2_recover_orphans mount-recovery path, which is a kernel crash."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/ocfs2/inode.c"], "versions": [{"version": "06ee5c75b57564435933fc0ffa72dc18a2fda0e7", "lessThan": "b5fcd0aa818e08ede9a1d705ffadb0a19b565ebc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "06ee5c75b57564435933fc0ffa72dc18a2fda0e7", "lessThan": "eacdd27ca829747d4372fbae8617151072a4d1e5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "06ee5c75b57564435933fc0ffa72dc18a2fda0e7", "lessThan": "8f7a2c5cf23d437acab7f3e739bfcad0f443c554", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "06ee5c75b57564435933fc0ffa72dc18a2fda0e7", "lessThan": "e35fa6eb4d2a39f8049f62361a4b44930882b5f8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "06ee5c75b57564435933fc0ffa72dc18a2fda0e7", "lessThan": "418e0ae42fa769d354b15e62c01a00413024755b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "06ee5c75b57564435933fc0ffa72dc18a2fda0e7", "lessThan": "bb88131c9831075b8dc08cdd375743e5d44c7ca2", "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/ocfs2/inode.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.0", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.191", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.114", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.52", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "4.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.191"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5fcd0aa818e08ede9a1d705ffadb0a19b565ebc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eacdd27ca829747d4372fbae8617151072a4d1e5"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f7a2c5cf23d437acab7f3e739bfcad0f443c554"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e35fa6eb4d2a39f8049f62361a4b44930882b5f8"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/418e0ae42fa769d354b15e62c01a00413024755b"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb88131c9831075b8dc08cdd375743e5d44c7ca2"}], "title": "ocfs2: validate DIO orphan slot during inode read", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
