Summary

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netfs mechanism regarding incorrect partial invalidation of a streaming-write folio. The netfs_invalidate_folio() function incorrectly modifies the dirty region by moving it forward by the start instead of the end of the invalidation region, leading to improper tracking of dirty data.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability may lead to data corruption during streaming write operations, potentially causing file integrity loss or unexpected filesystem behavior.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit 5f8f4b5e8e9a) or later, which corrects the error in the netfs_invalidate_folio() function.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix partial invalidation of streaming-write folio In netfs_invalidate_folio(), if the region of a partial invalidation overlaps the front (but not all) of a dirty write cached in a streaming write page (dirty, but not uptodate, with the dirty region tracked by a netfs_folio struct), the function modifies the dirty region - but incorrectly as it moves the region forward by setting the start to the start, not the end, of the invalidation region. Fix this by setting finfo->dirty_offset to the end of the invalidation region (iend).
