CVE-2024-41083

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 6.8-6.9.7 - NULL Pointer Dereference in netfs_page_mkwrite

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check folio->mapping is valid Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check that folio->mapping is valid once it has taken the folio lock (as filemap_page_mkwrite() does). Without this, generic/247 occasionally oopses with something like the following: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page RIP: 0010:trace_event_raw_event_netfs_folio+0x61/0xc0 ... Call Trace: <TASK> ? __die_body+0x1a/0x60 ? page_fault_oops+0x6e/0xa0 ? exc_page_fault+0xc2/0xe0 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30 ? trace_event_raw_event_netfs_folio+0x61/0xc0 trace_netfs_folio+0x39/0x40 netfs_page_mkwrite+0x14c/0x1d0 do_page_mkwrite+0x50/0x90 do_pte_missing+0x184/0x200 __handle_mm_fault+0x42d/0x500 handle_mm_fault+0x121/0x1f0 do_user_addr_fault+0x23e/0x3c0 exc_page_fault+0xc2/0xe0 asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30 This is due to the invalidate_inode_pages2_range() issued at the end of the DIO write interfering with the mmap'd writes.
