No network exposure exists.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the on-disk `sit_ver_bitmap_bytesize` and `segment_count_main` fields, so the out-of-bounds offset is deterministic and reproducible on every mount \u2014 the PoC is four shell commands with no race, timing, or memory-layout luck required to trigger it.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user can get the crafted image mounted through removable-media auto-mount paths that are ubiquitous for f2fs \u2014 Android vold mounting SD/adoptable storage and udisks2 on desktops \u2014 without holding real `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` in the init namespace.\nUI:N - The attacker supplies and mounts the image themselves via auto-mount or delegated mount rights; no action by a separate victim user is needed, and the follow-on OOB write in `f2fs_flush_sit_entries()` fires from the attacker's own writes.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access corrupts kernel slab memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `current_sit_addr()` performs a heap out-of-bounds read of the `kmemdup`'d `sit_bitmap` at an attacker-chosen offset extending thousands of bits (up to ~19 KB) past the slab object, and the values read steer computed metadata block addresses, providing an oracle over adjacent kernel heap contents.\nI:H - `f2fs_flush_sit_entries()` \u2192 `get_next_sit_folio()` \u2192 `set_to_next_sit()` \u2192 `f2fs_change_bit()` performs an out-of-bounds bit flip at the same attacker-chosen offset, corrupting adjacent slab objects \u2014 a heap-corruption primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking with standard grooming.\nA:H - The reported impact is an immediate kernel panic \u2014 `BUG()` via `f2fs_bug_on()` at `fs/f2fs/segment.h:863` inside `f2fs_ra_meta_pages()` during mount \u2014 and the far out-of-bounds accesses can also fault on unmapped memory."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/f2fs/super.c"], "versions": [{"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "82f51bff393e4c12cf4de553120ca831cfa4ef19", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "38ef48a8afef8df646b6f6ae7abb872f18b533c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "ad862f71016ba38039df1c96ed55c0a4314cc183", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "79ef8a6c4ec53d327580fd7d2b522cf4f1d05b0c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "ee1b421c469876544e297ec1090574bd76100247", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "3e5ac62a56a24f4d88ce8ffd7bc452428b235868", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "98e4da8ca301e062d79ae168c67e56f3c3de3ce4", "lessThan": "5db0d252c64e91ba1929c70112352e85dc5751e7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/f2fs/super.c"], "versions": [{"version": "3.8", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "3.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.239", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.186", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.142", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.95", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.35", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.16", "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": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.239"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.186"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.142"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.95"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.35"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.16"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82f51bff393e4c12cf4de553120ca831cfa4ef19"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/38ef48a8afef8df646b6f6ae7abb872f18b533c1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ad862f71016ba38039df1c96ed55c0a4314cc183"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79ef8a6c4ec53d327580fd7d2b522cf4f1d05b0c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ee1b421c469876544e297ec1090574bd76100247"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e5ac62a56a24f4d88ce8ffd7bc452428b235868"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5db0d252c64e91ba1929c70112352e85dc5751e7"}], "title": "f2fs: fix to do sanity check on sit_bitmap_size", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00008.html"}, {"url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00007.html"}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T17:35:36.324Z"}}]}}
