Summary

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's EROFS filesystem managed cache for unaligned extents. Two threads may simultaneously add the same folio to the cache, leading to an inconsistent state. This only affects data compression with the -E48bit option (e.g., zstd).

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential data corruption or unpredictable behavior of the EROFS filesystem when handling unaligned compressed extents. This could compromise data integrity in environments using this feature.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit that resolves the race). If an update is not possible, avoid using the -E48bit option for EROFS compression.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix managed cache race for unaligned extents After unaligned compressed extents were introduced, the following race could occur: [Thread 1] [Thread 2] (z_erofs_fill_bio_vec) <handle a Z_EROFS_PREALLOCATED_FOLIO folio> ... filemap_add_folio (1) (z_erofs_bind_cache) <the same folio is found..> .. .. folio_attach_private (2) filemap_add_folio (3) again Since (1) is executed but (2) hasn't been executed yet, it's possible that another thread finds the same managed folio in z_erofs_bind_cache() for a different pcluster and calls filemap_add_folio() again since folio->private is still Z_EROFS_PREALLOCATED_FOLIO. Fix this by explicitly clearing folio->private before making the folio visible in the managed cache so that another pcluster can simply wait on the locked managed folio as what we did for other shared cases [1]. This only impacts unaligned data compression (`-E48bit` with zstd, for example). [1] Commit 9e2f9d34dd12 ("erofs: handle overlapped pclusters out of crafted images properly") was originally introduced to handle crafted overlapped extents, but it addresses unaligned extents as well.
