In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm, shmem: prevent infinite loop on truncate race
When truncating a large swap entry, shmem_free_swap() returns 0 when the entry's index doesn't match the given index due to lookup alignment. The failure fallback path checks if the entry crosses the end border and aborts when it happens, so truncate won't erase an unexpected entry or range. But one scenario was ignored.
When index points to the middle of a large swap entry, and the large
swap entry doesn't go across the end border, find_get_entries() will
return that large swap entry as the first item in the batch with
indices[0] equal to index. The entry's base index will be smaller
than indices[0], so shmem_free_swap() will fail and return 0 due to the
"base < index" check. The code will then call shmem_confirm_swap(), get
the order, check if it crosses the END boundary (which it doesn't), and
retry with the same index.
