CVE-2026-80535

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel XFS filesystem, during directory tree repair, a self-referential directory may be detected. In such a case, the repair code attempts to lock the same inode twice (double iolock/ilock), leading to a deadlock. The fix detects this corner case and handles it appropriately.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can cause a deadlock during filesystem repair operations, potentially hanging the system or preventing further file operations.

Recommendation

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

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: don't double-lock when deleting a self-referential directory LOLLM notices that the dirtree scrubber can detect a directory that refers to itself. In this case, it's not correct for the directory tree repair code to try to iolock/ilock both sc->ip and dp, because they're the same inode. Fix this by detecting that corner case and handling it appropriately.
