Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-25 10:02:59 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()

zram_read_page() picks the sync or async backing device read path based on
whether the parent bio is NULL.  zram_bvec_write_partial() passes its
parent bio down, so for ZRAM_WB slots the read is dispatched
asynchronously and zram_read_page() returns 0 while the bio is still in
flight.  The caller then runs memcpy_from_bvec(), zram_write_page() and
__free_page() on the buffer, leaving the async read to write into a freed
page.

zram_bvec_read_partial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d
("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the write_partial
counterpart was missed.
