In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: ensure valid f_path for page cache sharing
Previously, backing files for page cache sharing were set up with
f_path left as NULL (only f_inode was valid). It worked, but a recent
mincore fix relies on f_path.mnt and crashes (found by "erofs/028" on
7.2-rc4):
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 675528 Comm: fincore Not tainted 7.2.0-rc4-00002-g[]-dirty #1 PREEMPT(lazy)

Specify valid paths using valid disconnected dentries together with
erofs_ishare_mnt instead of leaving f_path empty, so they are more
like real backing files in a pseudo filesystem and standard
backing_file_open() can be used directly.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's erofs filesystem. An invalid f_path for page cache sharing could lead to a null pointer dereference when a mincore operation is performed. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
