There is no network-facing path into `bch2_fs_file_ioctl()`.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically triggers both defects with a single ioctl call — no race, no memory-layout dependence, no timing window; the dcache state that wedges `bch2_evict_subvolume_inodes()` is created by the attacker simply by walking into the subvolume beforehand. No conditions lie outside the attacker's control.\nPR:L - `BCH_IOCTL_SUBVOLUME_DESTROY` has no `capable()` check and, before this fix, no `inode_permission()` check, so an ordinary unprivileged local user needs only an fd on the bcachefs mount plus search (`MAY_EXEC`) permission along the path to the victim subvolume. No CAP_SYS_ADMIN, no user-namespace trick, and no ownership of or write access to the target is required.\nUI:N - The attacker issues the ioctl directly with no action by any other user; the mounted bcachefs filesystem is an ambient system configuration, not a victim-performed step at exploit time.\nS:U - The vulnerable code and the impacted resources (kernel filesystem state, on-disk subvolume data) are managed by the same security authority — the kernel. This is a standard in-kernel DAC-bypass/DoS with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:L - There is no direct arbitrary-read primitive, but the DAC bypass has bounded disclosure consequences: after destroying a root- or other-user-owned subvolume in a directory the attacker can write to, the attacker can recreate the path and have a privileged process deposit sensitive data into attacker-controlled storage, and the non-invalidated dcache subtree leaves stale dentries/inodes referencing a freed subvolume ID that can be reused by another user's newly created subvolume.\nI:H - An unprivileged user can permanently destroy any subvolume they can merely traverse to — including root-owned subvolumes and other users' mode-0700 subvolumes — bypassing all ownership, write-permission, sticky-bit and non-empty-directory protections, which is unauthorized destruction of arbitrary data on the filesystem. The stale, still-hashed dentry subtree over a deleted subvolume additionally permits writes through inodes whose subvolume ID may be reused.\nA:H - The `d_delete()` bug leaves `bch2_evict_subvolume_inodes()` stuck in `TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE`, producing an unkillable D-state kworker that holds `BCH_WRITE_REF_snapshot_delete_pagecache` forever — unmount and read-only transitions hang, all further subvolume deletions stall, and recovery requires a reboot. Independently, arbitrary destruction of subvolumes (e.g. one holding `/home` or a database) is total loss of the affected data."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/bcachefs/fs-ioctl.c"],"versions":[{"version":"1c6fdbd8f2465ddfb73a01ec620cbf3d14044e1a","lessThan":"9e6e83e1e2d01b99e70cd7812d7f758a8def9fc8","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1c6fdbd8f2465ddfb73a01ec620cbf3d14044e1a","lessThan":"82383abd39abd635511b8956284a5cc8134c4dc1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1c6fdbd8f2465ddfb73a01ec620cbf3d14044e1a","lessThan":"558317a5c61045d460a37372181e7b43c0c002bb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1c6fdbd8f2465ddfb73a01ec620cbf3d14044e1a","lessThan":"707549600c4a012ed71c0204a7992a679880bf33","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/bcachefs/fs-ioctl.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.22","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.13.10","lessThanOrEqual":"6.13.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.14.2","lessThanOrEqual":"6.14.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.15","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":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.22"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.13.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.14.2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.15"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9e6e83e1e2d01b99e70cd7812d7f758a8def9fc8"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82383abd39abd635511b8956284a5cc8134c4dc1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/558317a5c61045d460a37372181e7b43c0c002bb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/707549600c4a012ed71c0204a7992a679880bf33"}],"title":"bcachefs: bch2_ioctl_subvolume_destroy() fixes","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
