Later commit 0c771b99d6c9\n(\"xfs: clean up calculation of LR header blocks\") cleaned up the log\nreover buffer calculation, but stoped using the fixed up h_size value\nto size the log recovery buffer, which can lead to an out of bounds\naccess when the incorrect h_size does not come from the old mkfs\ntool, but a fuzzer.\n\nFix this by open coding xlog_logrec_hblks and taking the fixed h_size\ninto account for this calculation."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H","baseScore":7.3,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"},"scenarios":[{"lang":"en","value":"AV:L - The bug is reached only through XFS log recovery at mount time on a locally attached block device or image file; no network or remote-peer data reaches this code. Delivery via removable media still requires the image to be mounted on the local system.\nAC:L - Every input is attacker-chosen on-disk data — `sb_logsunit` (raises `m_logbsize` to 256K with no mount option needed), and `h_size`/`h_len`/`h_num_logops`/`h_version` in the tail log record — so the undersized `hbp` and the ~224 KB overread happen deterministically on every mount, with no race and no memory layout to groom.\nPR:N - The attacker needs no account or privilege on the target; they only need to hand over a crafted XFS image (USB stick, disk image, exported LUN) that is then mounted by the victim or by an automounter such as udisks2 on a desktop or kiosk. Equivalently, an unprivileged local user on an automount-enabled system reaches it with PR:L/UI:N, which yields the identical exploitability score.\nUI:R - A user or automount service must mount the malicious filesystem with a dirty log so that `xlog_do_recovery_pass()` runs; the attacker cannot initiate the mount themselves.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and its consequences stay inside the kernel's own security authority — no hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `xlog_cksum()` and `xlog_unpack_data()` read at 32 KB strides up to ~224 KB past a 512-byte `kvzalloc()` slab object, and on a non-CRC (v4) image the harvested heap dwords are copied into the replayed log data and committed to the filesystem, giving the attacker a large, readable kernel heap disclosure.\nI:L - There is no out-of-bounds write — `dbp` is sized from the fixed-up `h_size` and `bblks <= BTOBB(h_size)` — but the out-of-bounds kernel heap dwords are spliced into the log record data by `xlog_unpack_data()` and replayed into on-disk metadata, producing limited, attacker-uncontrolled modification of filesystem data.\nA:H - Reading roughly 224 KB beyond a 512-byte slab allocation readily crosses into unmapped memory, producing a page fault/oops (or a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds panic) during mount, taking down the system."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c"],"versions":[{"version":"0c771b99d6c9a0552fea5cc43669b726dad8f659","lessThan":"f754591b17d0ee91c2b45fe9509d0cdc420527cb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0c771b99d6c9a0552fea5cc43669b726dad8f659","lessThan":"57835c0e7152e36b03875dd6c56dfeed685c1b1f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0c771b99d6c9a0552fea5cc43669b726dad8f659","lessThan":"c2389c074973aa94e34992e7f66dac0de37595b5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0c771b99d6c9a0552fea5cc43669b726dad8f659","lessThan":"45cf976008ddef4a9c9a30310c9b4fb2a9a6602a","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/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.10","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.10","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.165","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.105","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.46","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.10","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":"5.10","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.165"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.105"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.46"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.10","versionEndExcluding":"6.10"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f754591b17d0ee91c2b45fe9509d0cdc420527cb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/57835c0e7152e36b03875dd6c56dfeed685c1b1f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c2389c074973aa94e34992e7f66dac0de37595b5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45cf976008ddef4a9c9a30310c9b4fb2a9a6602a"}],"title":"xfs: fix log recovery buffer allocation for the legacy h_size fixup","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45cf976008ddef4a9c9a30310c9b4fb2a9a6602a","tags":["x_transferred"]},{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T21:56:05.270Z"}},{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2024-39472","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2024-09-10T17:07:45.783551Z"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2024-09-11T17:34:41.426Z"}}]}}
