Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
FS: JFS: Check for read-only mounted filesystem in txBegin
This patch adds a check for read-only mounted filesystem
in txBegin before starting a transaction potentially saving
from NULL pointer deref.
JFS filesystem code neglects to verify whether the filesystem is mounted read-only before initiating transactions in txBegin(). When write operations are attempted on a read-only mount, the missing check allows execution to proceed with uninitialized transaction structures, culminating in a NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash.
Отчет
JFS usage has declined significantly in modern deployments. Exploitation requires local filesystem access and specific mount configurations. ext4 or XFS are recommended as alternatives where possible.
