CVE-2026-63816 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by RHEL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: atomic: fix UAF issue on f2fs_inode_info.atomic_inode
- ioctl(F2FS_IOC_GARBAGE_COLLECT_RANGE) - shrink
- f2fs_gc
- gc_data_segment
- ra_data_block(cow_inode) - mapping = F2FS_I(inode)->atomic_inode->i_mapping : f2fs_is_cow_file(cow_inode) is true - f2fs_evict_inode(atomic_inode) - clear_inode_flag(fi->cow_inode, FI_COW_FILE) - F2FS_I(fi->cow_inode)->atomic_inode = NULL ... - truncate_inode_pages_final(atomic_inode)
- f2fs_grab_cache_folio(mapping)
: create folio in atomic_inode->mapping
- clear_inode(atomic_inode)
- BUG_ON(atomic_inode->i_data.nrpages)
We need to add a reference on fi->atomic_inode before using its mapping field during garbage collection, otherwise, it will cause UAF issue.
