Description

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

f2fs: compress: fix to avoid use-after-free on dic

Call trace:
__memcpy+0x128/0x250
f2fs_read_multi_pages+0x940/0xf7c
f2fs_mpage_readpages+0x5a8/0x624
f2fs_readahead+0x5c/0x110
page_cache_ra_unbounded+0x1b8/0x590
do_sync_mmap_readahead+0x1dc/0x2e4
filemap_fault+0x254/0xa8c
f2fs_filemap_fault+0x2c/0x104
__do_fault+0x7c/0x238
do_handle_mm_fault+0x11bc/0x2d14
do_mem_abort+0x3a8/0x1004
el0_da+0x3c/0xa0
el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc4/0xec
el0t_64_sync+0x1b4/0x1b8

In f2fs_read_multi_pages(), once f2fs_decompress_cluster() was called if
we hit cached page in compress_inode's cache, dic may be released, it needs
break the loop rather than continuing it, in order to avoid accessing
invalid dic pointer.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
