MEDIUM · 4.7 CVSS Gepubliceerd: CWE-362

Beschrijving NL

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: don't reset unchangable mount option in f2fs_remount()

syzbot reports a bug as below:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000009: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire+0x69/0x2000 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4942

The root cause is race condition as below:
- since it tries to remount rw filesystem, so that do_remount won't
call sb_prepare_remount_readonly to block fallocate, there may be race
condition in between remount and fallocate. - in f2fs_remount(), default_options() will reset mount option to default
one, and then update it based on result of parse_options(), so there is
a hole which race condition can happen. Thread A Thread B
