No network protocol carries s_inode_size.\nAC:L - A crafted s_inode_size that still passes ns_inode_size <= ns_blocksize but makes NILFS_SR_BYTES(inode_size) exceed ns_blocksize (for example inode_size == blocksize) puts NILFS_SR_CPFILE_OFFSET/SUFILE_OFFSET past bh_sr->b_data, so nilfs_read_inode_common() over-reads on every mount of that image. There is no race.\nPR:N - Crafting the image needs no host account. nilfs_fs_type.fs_flags is only FS_REQUIRES_DEV (no FS_USERNS_MOUNT), so mount_capable() requires init-namespace CAP_SYS_ADMIN; that privileged mount is the victim's action and is scored as UI:R, not attacker privilege.\nUI:R - The over-read runs only in nilfs_load_super_root() from nilfs_fill_super() after a victim or automounter mounts the attacker-supplied nilfs2 image via mount/fsopen. That mount is the required user interaction.\nS:U - nilfs_read_inode_common()'s over-read of the super-root buffer_head stays in the host kernel mount path and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox authority.\nC:H - With inode_size == ns_blocksize, NILFS_SR_CPFILE_OFFSET is 16 bytes past the super-root block, and nilfs_read_inode_common() loads a full 128-byte struct nilfs_inode (including a 56-byte i_bmap memcpy in nilfs_bmap_read) from that address. That is not a few-byte leak.\nI:N - The defect is a source over-read into in-bounds VFS inode and bmap fields; there is no store through the out-of-bounds pointer and no OOB write. Leaked i_bmap words are used only as on-disk block numbers, not as a kernel write primitive.\nA:H - A 4K block with inode_size == 4096 places the cpfile inode 16 bytes past the page-backed super-root buffer, so the 128-byte load can fault on an unmapped next linear-map page (KASAN, debug_pagealloc, page poisoning) and oops the mounting kernel."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor":
