Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: take invalidate_lock in ntfs_filemap_page_mkwrite()
ntfs_filemap_page_mkwrite() calls iomap_page_mkwrite() without holding
mapping->invalidate_lock, so a concurrent truncate or fallocate can be
in the middle of invalidating pagecache and rewriting the runlist while
the write fault maps blocks and dirties the folio. This races with
ntfs_attr_fallocate(), which merges clusters into the in-memory
runlist, drops the runlist lock, and only afterwards zeroes the newly
allocated clusters on disk; and with the punch-hole/insert/collapse
paths that free clusters after truncating the cache.
Per Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst, ->page_mkwrite() must ensure
there are no truncate/invalidate races, "usually mapping->invalidate_lock
is suitable for proper serialization". xfs takes its mmaplock (= the
invalidate_lock rwsem) shared in exactly this path.
Take invalidate_lock shared around iomap_page_mkwrite(). The read-only
fault path is already covered because filemap_fault() itself grabs
invalidate_lock shared on instantiation/read paths; only page_mkwrite
was bypassing it in this driver.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system driver. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or file system corruption by exploiting a race condition between concurrent memory-mapped write operations and file truncation or allocation. Because the driver omits proper synchronization locks when handling write page faults, concurrent operations can invalidate memory mappings prematurely and lead to a system crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact because exploitation requires local access and write permissions on an active NTFS mount, and the resulting impact is confined to a local denial of service or filesystem corruption without code execution. In typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments, NTFS is neither mounted by default nor used for system partitions, significantly restricting exposure. An attacker must execute carefully timed concurrent memory-mapped writes and file allocation or truncation calls on an existing NTFS filesystem to trigger the race.
