"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nshmem: fix recovery on rename failures\n\nmaple_tree insertions can fail if we are seriously short on memory;\nsimple_offset_rename() does not recover well if it runs into that.\nThe same goes for simple_offset_rename_exchange().\n\nMoreover, shmem_whiteout() expects that if it succeeds, the caller will\nprogress to d_move(), i.e. that shmem_rename2() won't fail past the\nsuccessful call of shmem_whiteout().\n\nNot hard to fix, fortunately - mtree_store() can't fail if the index we\nare trying to store into is already present in the tree as a singleton.\n\nFor simple_offset_rename_exchange() that's enough - we just need to be\ncareful about the order of operations.\n\nFor simple_offset_rename() solution is to preinsert the target into the\ntree for new_dir; the rest can be done without any potentially failing\noperations.\n\nThat preinsertion has to be done in shmem_rename2() rather than in\nsimple_offset_rename() itself - otherwise we'd need to deal with the\npossibility of failure after successful shmem_whiteout()."

"value": "AV:N - A remote NFS client can invoke ordinary RENAME on a writable tmpfs export through nfsd, reaching shmem_rename2() and the vulnerable offset helpers.\nAC:L - The failure requires severe memory pressure, but an attacker with write access to tmpfs can create files and consume memory while repeatedly attempting renames.\nPR:N - A reasonably configured anonymous writable NFS export can accept AUTH_NULL or mapped AUTH_SYS clients without prior authentication, subject only to directory write and search permissions.\nUI:N - The attacker directly sends rename operations and does not require a victim to perform any action.\nS:U - The corrupted directory state and resulting denial of service remain within the host kernel and filesystem security authority.\nC:N - The failure loses directory-offset mappings but creates no stale freed-object access, out-of-bounds read, or other information-disclosure primitive.\nI:L - A failed insertion can persistently desynchronize a live dentry from its maple-tree mapping, corrupting directory metadata and cookies, but it does not provide arbitrary data modification.\nA:H - The corrupted offsets can make local getdents or NFS READDIR repeat, omit, or fail to progress through entries, potentially rendering the exported directory unavailable to clients."
