Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

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: s390/uv: Don't call folio_wait_writeback() without a folio reference folio_wait_writeback() requires that no spinlocks are held and that a folio reference is held, as documented. After we dropped the PTL, the folio could get freed concurrently. So grab a temporary reference.

No network input is involved, so local system access is required.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: it forces `rc == -EAGAIN` deterministically (start writeback on the file/shmem-backed guest page so `make_folio_secure()` returns -EAGAIN, or hold the folio lock) while a second thread `MADV_DONTNEED`s/munmaps that guest memory to free the folio in the window after the PTL and mmap_read_lock are dropped. The attempt is cheap and infinitely retryable.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local user with access to /dev/kvm (commonly mode 0666 or the `kvm` group on distros) is needed to create a VM, enable protected virtualization, and drive the unpack/secure-storage paths; no CAP_SYS_ADMIN or real root is required. A malicious guest reaching `handle_pv_uvc()` with a guest-controlled address is likewise not a privileged host actor.\nUI:N - The entire sequence is performed by the attacker\u0027s own threads via ioctls and memory-management syscalls on its own VM. No victim action of any kind is needed.\nS:U - The attacking process and the corrupted resources (host kernel MM metadata) live under the same security authority \u2014 this is a local host-kernel compromise, not an IOMMU or hypervisor-boundary escape granting control of a separate authority.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free on a folio whose `struct page` has been reallocated to an unrelated owner; the code reads that stale state and the resulting page-state corruption is leverageable for disclosure of memory belonging to other subsystems. Per UAF scoring guidance, confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - `folio_wait_bit_common()` performs an atomic `set_bit(PG_waiters, \u0026folio-\u003eflags)` write into a `struct page` that now describes someone else\u0027s allocation, corrupting core MM metadata for a page the attacker can influence the reuse of via heap/page grooming \u2014 a write primitive into kernel state, hence High.\nA:H - A stale `PG_writeback` bit in the reused page makes `folio_wait_bit()` sleep TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE with no waker, producing an unkillable task and hung-task panics, while a spurious `PG_waiters` trips `bad_page()` (\"BUG: Bad page state\") since `PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP` covers the whole flags mask. Either outcome is a full kernel-level denial of service."
