Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-07-29 16:20:28 UTC
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

This is due to the invalidate_inode_pages2_range() issued at the end of the
DIO write interfering with the mmap'd writes.
