Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

Modified
2026-08-05 11:26
Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: Fix iterating over an empty bio with bio_for_each_folio_all If the bio contains no data, bio_first_folio() calls page_folio() on a NULL pointer and oopses. Move the test that we've reached the end of the bio from bio_next_folio() to bio_first_folio(). [axboe: add unlikely() to error case]

No remote peer can reach `bio_first_folio()`.\\nAC:L - Fully deterministic and race-free: the attacker just supplies a page-aligned but unmapped buffer so `iov_iter_extract_pages()` returns -EFAULT on the first iteration, leaving `bi_vcnt == 0` on the error path. syzbot produced a reliable C reproducer.\\nPR:L - `scsi_cmd_allowed()` grants read-safe SG_IO commands to any user who can open the device (no CAP_SYS_RAWIO), and desktop/kiosk seat ACLs, `disk`/`cdrom` group membership, or container device grants provide that to unprivileged users; the bcachefs `O_DIRECT` path (fs/bcachefs/fs-io-direct.c:142) needs only an ordinary file. Real root in the init namespace is not required.\\nUI:N - The attacking process performs the entire sequence itself with a single ioctl or direct-I/O syscall against an already-present device or file. No victim action, mount, or file-open by another user is involved.\\nS:U - The uninitialized-bvec dereference and its consequences are confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority on the same host, with no hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\\nC:H - `bio_first_folio()` reads an uninitialized `bio_vec` from recycled mempool memory and `bio_check_pages_dirty()` then branches on `folio_test_dirty()` of that stale pointer, disclosing kernel heap state; the resulting page-refcount corruption is leverageable into arbitrary memory disclosure.\\nI:H - `__bio_release_pages()` performs `folio_mark_dirty()` and `unpin_user_page()` on the stale, groomable `bv_page` for `bv_len` bytes, dropping refcounts on pages that were never pinned \\u2014 a refcount underflow that yields premature free and a page-level use-after-free write primitive.\\nA:H - syzbot reproduced both a NULL pointer dereference in `__bio_release_pages()` and a general protection fault in `bio_first_folio()`; either oopses the kernel and can be re-triggered at will by an unprivileged process.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"640d1930bef4f87ec8d8d2b05f0f6edc1dfcf662\", \"lessThan\": \"c6350b5cb78e9024c49eaee6fdb914ad2903a5fe\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"640d1930bef4f87ec8d8d2b05f0f6edc1dfcf662\", \"lessThan\": \"a6bd8182137a12d22d3f2cee463271bdcb491659\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"640d1930bef4f87ec8d8d2b05f0f6edc1dfcf662\", \"lessThan\": \"ca3ede3f5893e2d26d4dbdef1eec28a8487fafde\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"640d1930bef4f87ec8d8d2b05f0f6edc1dfcf662\", \"lessThan\": \"7bed6f3d08b7af27b7015da8dc3acf2b9c1f21d7\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"include/linux/bio.h\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"5.17\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"5.17\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.75\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.14\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.7.2\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.7.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.8\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"include/linux/bio.h\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c6350b5cb78e9024c49eaee6fdb914ad2903a5fe\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a6bd8182137a12d22d3f2cee463271bdcb491659\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca3ede3f5893e2d26d4dbdef1eec28a8487fafde\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7bed6f3d08b7af27b7015da8dc3acf2b9c1f21d7\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nblock: Fix iterating over an empty bio with bio_for_each_folio_all\\n\\nIf the bio contains no data, bio_first_folio() calls page_folio() on a\\nNULL pointer and oopses.
