This is a local block filesystem (Android userdata/portable storage), not a network protocol path such as ksmbd or nfsd.\nAC:L - A crafted f2fs image with a 255-byte non-NUL i_name and a pending fsync node makes printk %s over-read deterministically on mount. Roll-forward is default-enabled; no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:L - f2fs lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT, but Android vold auto-mounts f2fs portable/adoptable storage and desktop/kiosk udisks2/polkit mounts removable media for an ordinary console user, so init-namespace root is not required.\nUI:N - The attacker supplies the crafted image; vold/udisks auto-mount runs roll-forward recovery without a separate deliberate victim mount or open. Recovery also fires automatically on the next mount after an unclean shutdown.\nS:U - The over-read and any resulting oops stay in the host kernel address space and security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - recover_inode()/recover_dentry() pass the 255-byte, non-NUL-terminated i_name to printk %s with no precision, so vsprintf scans past the field and the rest of the 4KB node folio into adjacent kernel memory and copies it into dmesg, an unbounded OOB read.\nI:N - The defect is a read-only printk over-read of i_name; it does not write kernel memory, corrupt adjacent objects, or provide a control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - Unbounded %s scanning off the node folio can walk into unmapped pages or trip KASAN/page-poisoning and oops/panic the kernel during mount recovery, fully denying availability."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/f2fs/recovery.c"],"versions":[{"version":"f356fe0cba0e3523e538987916bd2acedd4e6f41","lessThan":"7ab1780074943508534343e1e5e5ab0c9ef9dd7b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f356fe0cba0e3523e538987916bd2acedd4e6f41","lessThan":"35c5abccd0924b02ad34126f562d93c8d75b0831","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f356fe0cba0e3523e538987916bd2acedd4e6f41","lessThan":"317d32e1a8deaf1c01c388badc667334c39e62ca","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f356fe0cba0e3523e538987916bd2acedd4e6f41","lessThan":"01027b2fcb74dade59fb833b51023f6593b6a9a2","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/recovery.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3.11","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"3.11","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.112","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.53","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","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":"3.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.112"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.53"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.11","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.11","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ab1780074943508534343e1e5e5ab0c9ef9dd7b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35c5abccd0924b02ad34126f562d93c8d75b0831"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/317d32e1a8deaf1c01c388badc667334c39e62ca"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/01027b2fcb74dade59fb833b51023f6593b6a9a2"}],"title":"f2fs: limit recovery filename logging to stored length","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
