The next creat(2) or recover_dentry add then hits the memcpy with no race.\nPR:N - Crafting the f2fs image takes no account or capability on the target. f2fs_add_inline_entries has no capable() gate; init-namespace CAP_SYS_ADMIN (f2fs_fs_type lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT) is the victim's or automount helper's mount privilege, not the attacker's.\nUI:R - The bad name_len is only consumed after that image is mounted. A victim or trusted helper (udisks/vold) must mount it before f2fs_create/f2fs_rename or roll-forward recover_dentry\u2192f2fs_add_dentry can call f2fs_add_inline_entries; automount does not make this a network bug.\nS:U - f2fs_update_dentry's over-read from backup_dentry and any oops stay in the host kernel that mounted the volume. This is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - f2fs_add_inline_entries sets fname.disk_name.len from unvalidated de->name_len and f2fs_update_dentry memcpy's that many bytes from the kmalloc'd backup_dentry filename array. A name_len that still fits a regular dentry block (GET_DENTRY_SLOTS<=NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK, up to 1705) reads past MAX_INLINE_DATA into adjacent slab; those bytes become the converted name.\nI:N - f2fs_add_regular_entry only calls f2fs_update_dentry after f2fs_room_for_filename finds GET_DENTRY_SLOTS(name_len) free dest slots, so the memcpy stays inside the new 4K dentry folio. There is no kernel OOB write, UAF, or control-flow hijack; treating any heap over-read as I:H would apply to every infoleak.\nA:H - The same memcpy over-reads f2fs_kmalloc(MAX_INLINE_DATA) (~3KB) by up to ~1700 bytes, which can leave the slab object and oops on unmapped/poisoned memory during conversion, panicking or killing the task. A name_len whose slot count exceeds NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK also walks MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH allocating empty dir blocks before -ENOSPC."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/f2fs/inline.c"], "versions": [{"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "6b5552449fc5acb8e6ecf045b46702b29b71165a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "6343208fd73f3f2b8044c0922185cd13ff807693", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "4dd81faa63fd54b9ba1a83c304e6d0bd03f1898d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "aee4e6de71ca77626c006166ff00f1d01ff990c9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "2ce0bc5853bec7cdc724477a87ea579fde664243", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "7caa8a0ae94b132576c2e46e9b4fd4e0f356f373", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "675f10bde6cc3874632a8f684df2a8a2a8ace76e", "lessThan": "cfcd0e49a178b3dac2c0ece656079081dbf5da74", "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/f2fs/inline.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.7", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.271", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.222", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.189", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.158", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "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": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.271"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.222"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.189"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.158"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b5552449fc5acb8e6ecf045b46702b29b71165a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6343208fd73f3f2b8044c0922185cd13ff807693"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4dd81faa63fd54b9ba1a83c304e6d0bd03f1898d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aee4e6de71ca77626c006166ff00f1d01ff990c9"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ce0bc5853bec7cdc724477a87ea579fde664243"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7caa8a0ae94b132576c2e46e9b4fd4e0f356f373"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cfcd0e49a178b3dac2c0ece656079081dbf5da74"}], "title": "f2fs: validate inline dentry name lengths before conversion", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
