Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: don't let hidden_space go negative in xfs_metafile_resv_init
LOLLM points out that if the amount of fdblocks that we can reserve for
a metadata btree file goes below the space already used by that file,
then the hidden_space subtraction can underflow, causing
xfs_dec_fdblocks to subtract a huge amount of space. We never want the
target to be less than the used sapce, so fix the logic that adjusts
dblocks_avail downwards.
Also fix an error in the adjacent comment.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system. When calculating space reservations for file system metadata, the kernel does not prevent an arithmetic underflow if the available reservable blocks drop below the amount already in use. A local user could exploit this condition during file operations to cause an excessively large subtraction of available space, resulting in file system corruption or a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact because triggering the arithmetic error requires local access with elevated privileges on an XFS volume, resulting exclusively in a denial of service. Exploitation cannot be achieved remotely, nor does it allow code execution or data leakage. Earlier Enterprise Linux distributions remain unaffected because the underlying metadata file reservation logic was introduced in later kernel releases.
