There is a closely related\nissue which has been fixed:\n\nhttps://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d6c1b3599b2feb5c7291f5ac3a36e5fa7cedb234\n\n... but, unfortunately, the accepted patch appears to still be\nsusceptible to a null pointer dereference under some interleavings.\n\nTo trigger the bug, we think that `JFS_SBI(ipbmap->i_sb)->bmap` is set\nto NULL in `dbFreeBits` and then dereferenced in `jfs_ioc_trim`. This\nbug manifests quite rarely under normal circumstances, but is\ntriggereable from a syz-program."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/jfs/jfs_discard.c"],"versions":[{"version":"b40c2e665cd552eae5fbdbb878bc29a34357668e","lessThan":"0d50231d473f89024158dc62624930de45d13718","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b40c2e665cd552eae5fbdbb878bc29a34357668e","lessThan":"a9d41c925069c950e18160e12a7e10e0f58c56fb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b40c2e665cd552eae5fbdbb878bc29a34357668e","lessThan":"4a8cb9908b51500a76f5156423bd295df53bff89","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b40c2e665cd552eae5fbdbb878bc29a34357668e","lessThan":"9806ae34d7d661c372247cd36f83bfa0523d60ed","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"b40c2e665cd552eae5fbdbb878bc29a34357668e","lessThan":"a4685408ff6c3e2af366ad9a7274f45ff3f394ee","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/jfs/jfs_discard.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"3.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.4.295","lessThanOrEqual":"5.4.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.239","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.186","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.15.4","lessThanOrEqual":"6.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.16","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":"3.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.4.295"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.239"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.186"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.15.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.16"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d50231d473f89024158dc62624930de45d13718"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9d41c925069c950e18160e12a7e10e0f58c56fb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a8cb9908b51500a76f5156423bd295df53bff89"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9806ae34d7d661c372247cd36f83bfa0523d60ed"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4685408ff6c3e2af366ad9a7274f45ff3f394ee"}],"title":"jfs: Fix null-ptr-deref in jfs_ioc_trim","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00007.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T17:35:25.733Z"}}]}}
