Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fix UAF in xchk_btree_check_block_owner We cannot dereference bs->cur when trying to determine if bs->cur aliases bs->sc->sa.{bno,rmap}_cur after the latter has been freed. Fix this by sampling before type before any freeing could happen. The correct temporal ordering was broken when we removed xfs_btnum_t. A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s XFS filesystem scrub functionality. In xchk_btree_check_block_owner(), the code dereferences bs->cur to check if it aliases with bs->sc->sa.bno_cur or bs->sc->sa.rmap_cur after these cursors may have already been freed. This incorrect temporal ordering was introduced when the xfs_btnum_t type was removed, potentially leading to a use-after-free condition during filesystem consistency checks.Details
