A remote attacker therefore does not need local code execution on a reasonably deployed file server using GFS2 storage.\nAC:L - The race is driven by ordinary concurrent filesystem activity and log pressure, which an attacker can create by issuing repeated parallel writes/metadata operations. No rare hardware state or uncontrollable timing condition is required beyond normal kernel scheduling.\nPR:N - In the highest reasonable deployment, a writable NFS export or guest/share can allow anonymous or unauthenticated remote write activity to reach these paths. No kernel capability or local administrative privilege is required to trigger the vulnerable log/transaction interaction in that scenario.\nUI:N - Once the GFS2 filesystem is mounted/exported, exploitation only requires attacker-initiated filesystem operations. No separate victim action is needed during the attack.\nS:U - The affected component is the host kernel filesystem implementation, and the impact remains within that kernel/filesystem security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary violation.\nC:H - The missing exclusion can corrupt GFS2 log/revoke and AIL state, making stale or incorrect filesystem contents plausibly reachable after replay or recovery. Under the required uncertainty rule, filesystem journal corruption that can expose arbitrary stored data is scored as high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The bug affects journal/log bookkeeping that protects filesystem metadata and replay ordering, so a triggered race can corrupt or roll back arbitrary filesystem state. This is high integrity impact for a shared GFS2 volume.\nA:H - The race can lead to GFS2 withdraws, hangs, assertion failures, or filesystem unavailability under log flushing pressure. That is a high availability impact for the affected kernel/filesystem instance."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/gfs2/log.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"3b28eb75afe520972bacc833850c2b30aa0824cd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"ca95342cb1b39062a03c115830286f0a426053d5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"bf5fcd9c37c2546beaf7b401d31aefd89017dc3d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"f2f225cf505ac016132ded21690f3ba0a080a4e8","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"49d9be0722da3a4a893ba905720cba1921834ec3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"98e8bf249c790d56de1abc4a5f8bd68035a00921","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5e4c7632aae1cce137792647f4fb6f599d1da893","lessThan":"fe2c8d051150b90b3ccb85f89e3b1d636cb88ec8","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/gfs2/log.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.209","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.175","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.141","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.91","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.33","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","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":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.209"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.175"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.141"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.91"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.33"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b28eb75afe520972bacc833850c2b30aa0824cd"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca95342cb1b39062a03c115830286f0a426053d5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf5fcd9c37c2546beaf7b401d31aefd89017dc3d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f2f225cf505ac016132ded21690f3ba0a080a4e8"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49d9be0722da3a4a893ba905720cba1921834ec3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/98e8bf249c790d56de1abc4a5f8bd68035a00921"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fe2c8d051150b90b3ccb85f89e3b1d636cb88ec8"}],"title":"gfs2: add some missing log locking","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
