Summary

In the Linux kernel's NFS filesystem, there is a race condition when updating an existing write. Lack of early page group locking may lead to request removal before processing. The fix moves the lock earlier.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential data corruption or inconsistency in NFS write operations, which could lead to data loss.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: Fix a race when updating an existing write After nfs_lock_and_join_requests() tests for whether the request is still attached to the mapping, nothing prevents a call to nfs_inode_remove_request() from succeeding until we actually lock the page group. The reason is that whoever called nfs_inode_remove_request() doesn't necessarily have a lock on the page group head. So in order to avoid races, let's take the page group lock earlier in nfs_lock_and_join_requests(), and hold it across the removal of the request in nfs_inode_remove_request().
