Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

Severity ?
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/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: dm-integrity: fix a bug if the bio is out of limits If dm_integrity_check_limits fails, the code would exit with DM_MAPIO_KILL. However, the range would be already locked at this point, and it wouldn't be unlocked, resulting in a deadlock. Let's move the limit check up, so that when it exits, no resources are leaked.

in enterprise/cloud deployments those volumes are commonly exported over network block protocols (iSCSI, NVMe-oF, NBD), letting a remote initiator drive the vulnerable map path.\\nAC:L - During SB_FLAG_RECALCULATING the attacker can reliably issue concurrent I/O ahead of the recalc cursor that fails dm_integrity_check_limits (e.g., block-aligned totals with misaligned bvecs), acquiring integrity_range_locked before DM_MAPIO_KILL without cleanup.\\nPR:L - Exploitation requires submitting crafted block I/O to the dm-integrity device\\u2014available to unprivileged users with device access (disk group), CAP_SYS_ADMIN in a user namespace that can create dm targets, or authenticated remote block-storage clients\\u2014not fully unauthenticated network access.\\nUI:N - Triggering the flaw needs only attacker-initiated block I/O during recalculation; no victim interaction such as opening files or mounting filesystems is required.\\nS:U - Impact is kernel heap corruption, deadlock, and privilege escalation within the host kernel security domain; it does not cross a VM/hypervisor or IOMMU boundary.\\nC:H - On DM_MAPIO_KILL the dm core frees the bio/per-io dm_integrity_io while dio-\u003erange remains in ic-\u003ein_progress, creating a use-after-free that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure via subsequent tree walks.\\nI:H - The dangling dm_integrity_range node in the red-black tree enables heap metadata corruption and attacker-controlled reuse of freed dm_integrity_io memory, supporting arbitrary kernel write and local privilege escalation.\\nA:H - The leaked range lock permanently blocks overlapping I/O (uninterruptible waits/deadlock), and UAF on in_progress tree operations can cause kernel oops/panic, producing severe and persistent loss of availability.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"product\": \"Linux\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\", \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/md/dm-integrity.c\"], \"versions\": [{\"version\": \"fb0987682c629c1d2c476f35f6fde405a5e304a4\", \"lessThan\": \"f7989286175f32db8605e767a1a2efc62e894dc8\", \"status\": \"affected\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"version\": \"fb0987682c629c1d2c476f35f6fde405a5e304a4\", \"lessThan\": \"aa5113e7155f4ea81d2c0303ab5cb272d4b32627\", \"status\": \"affected\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"version\": \"fb0987682c629c1d2c476f35f6fde405a5e304a4\", \"lessThan\": \"3d1afaa074622859678b1a1e7c1b9c0af74c89b0\", \"status\": \"affected\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"version\": \"fb0987682c629c1d2c476f35f6fde405a5e304a4\", \"lessThan\": \"5a266764fadaff8b5c1fe37a186ebf9b09cb953e\", \"status\": \"affected\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}]}, {\"product\": \"Linux\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\", \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/md/dm-integrity.c\"], \"versions\": [{\"version\": \"6.11\", \"status\": \"affected\"}, {\"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.11\", \"status\": \"unaffected\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"version\": \"6.12.97\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\", \"status\": \"unaffected\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"version\": \"6.18.40\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\", \"status\": \"unaffected\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"version\": \"7.1.5\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.1.*\", \"status\": \"unaffected\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"version\": \"7.2\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\", \"status\": \"unaffected\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"}]}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"operator\": \"OR\", \"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"vulnerable\": true, \"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.11\", \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.12.97\"}, {\"vulnerable\": true, \"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.11\", \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.18.40\"}, {\"vulnerable\": true, \"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.11\", \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.1.5\"}, {\"vulnerable\": true, \"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.11\", \"versionEndExcluding\": \"7.2\"}]}]}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7989286175f32db8605e767a1a2efc62e894dc8\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa5113e7155f4ea81d2c0303ab5cb272d4b32627\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d1afaa074622859678b1a1e7c1b9c0af74c89b0\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a266764fadaff8b5c1fe37a186ebf9b09cb953e\"}], \"title\": \"dm-integrity: fix a bug if the bio is out of limits\", \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}}, \"adp\": [{\"metrics\": [{\"other\": {\"type\": \"ssvc\", \"content\": {\"id\": \"CVE-2026-72100\", \"role\": \"CISA Coordinator\", \"options\": [{\"Exploitation\": \"none\"}, {\"Automatable\": \"no\"}, {\"Technical Impact\": \"total\"}], \"version\": \"2.0.3\", \"timestamp\": \"2026-10-16T15:51:56.986818Z\"}}}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-667\", \"description\": \"CWE-667 Improper Locking\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\", \"shortName\": \"CISA-ADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-10-16T15:51:58.435Z\"}, \"title\": \"CISA ADP Vulnrichment\"}]}",
