not via network protocol handlers.\nAC:L - An unprivileged local attacker fully controls the atomic-write, write, and truncate/invalidate sequence on their own file and can drive the drop path directly; no attacker-independent timing or rare hardware state is required.\nPR:L - F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE only needs inode_owner_or_capable, so any unprivileged user who owns a file on a mounted f2fs volume (common on Android userdata) can enter the path without real root.\nUI:N - On typical f2fs deployments the filesystem is already mounted; the attacker triggers the bug with their own ioctl/write/truncate and needs no separate victim action.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption within the host f2fs/pagecache authority and does not cross VM, IOMMU, or other security boundaries.\nC:H - On the not-found path the stale iterator aliases into f2fs_inode_info; continuing to kmem_cache_free that address corrupts slab freelists, which is leveragable for arbitrary kernel read primitives.\nI:H - list_del on the bogus inmem_pages object and kmem_cache_free of a non-slab inode-interior pointer yield heap corruption exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The same path can BUG_ON/WARN then fault in list_del/slab free, or panic from corrupted freelists, so availability impact is a kernel oops/panic."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/f2fs/segment.c"],"versions":[{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"385edd3ce5b4b1e9d31f474a5e35a39779ec1110","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"5e47a7add3dda7f236548c5ec3017776dc2a729f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"51d584704d18e60fa473823654f35611c777b291","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"45b2b7d7108ae1e25a5036cab04ab9273e792332","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"b26e1c777890e4b938136deb8ec07a29f33862e4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"ed7efc472c00986dcd6903ab6ed165c7fa167674","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8c242db9b8c01b252290e23827163787f07e01d1","lessThan":"2aaf51dd39afb6d01d13f1e6fe20b684733b37d5","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/segment.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.12","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.12","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"4.19.247","lessThanOrEqual":"4.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.4.198","lessThanOrEqual":"5.4.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.121","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.46","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.17.14","lessThanOrEqual":"5.17.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.18.3","lessThanOrEqual":"5.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.19","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":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"4.19.247"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.4.198"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.121"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.46"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.17.14"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.18.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.19"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/385edd3ce5b4b1e9d31f474a5e35a39779ec1110"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e47a7add3dda7f236548c5ec3017776dc2a729f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51d584704d18e60fa473823654f35611c777b291"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45b2b7d7108ae1e25a5036cab04ab9273e792332"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b26e1c777890e4b938136deb8ec07a29f33862e4"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ed7efc472c00986dcd6903ab6ed165c7fa167674"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2aaf51dd39afb6d01d13f1e6fe20b684733b37d5"}],"title":"f2fs: fix dereference of stale list iterator after loop body","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
