CVE-2026-80533

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel XFS filesystem, during AGI repair, the function xrep_iunlink_walk_ondisk_bucket may attempt to use the pointer sc->sa.agi_bp, which can be null if the buffer verifier fails. The fix uses ragi->agi_bp instead, which skips verifier checks, to avoid walking off the end of memory.

Risk Assessment

Using a null pointer can lead to memory corruption (e.g., reading from an invalid address), potentially causing a system crash or unpredictable behavior during filesystem repair.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix. Avoid running filesystem repair on untrusted images.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: don't walk off the end of a null sc->sa.agi_bp in AGI repair LOLLM noticed a longstanding bug where xrep_iunlink_walk_ondisk_bucket tries to walk ragi->sc->sa.agi_bp to rebuild the unlinked inode lists. Unfortunately, it's possible for agi_bp to be null if the buffer verifier fails, so we have to use ragi->agi_bp (which skips verifier checks) instead.
