"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRevert \"Revert \"block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges\"\"\n\nA crash [1] happened to be triggered in conjunction with commit\n2d52c58b9c9b (\"block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges\"). The\nlatter was then reverted by commit ebc69e897e17 (\"Revert \"block, bfq:\nhonor already-setup queue merges\"\"). Yet, the reverted commit was not\nthe one introducing the bug. In fact, it actually triggered a UAF\nintroduced by a different commit, and now fixed by commit d29bd41428cf\n(\"block, bfq: reset last_bfqq_created on group change\").\n\nSo, there is no point in keeping commit 2d52c58b9c9b (\"block, bfq:\nhonor already-setup queue merges\") out. This commit restores it.\n\n[1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214503"

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is in the BFQ block I/O scheduler and is reached via local syscalls that submit I/O (read/write/fsync/ioctl), through bfq_init_rq → bfq_get_queue / bfq_setup_cooperator; it is not reachable from network packet processing.\nAC:L - An unprivileged attacker can reliably drive the buggy path by spawning processes that issue concurrent I/O and by migrating between blkcgs so queues are created, merged, moved, and freed under attacker control; success does not depend on victim state beyond BFQ being the active scheduler.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account is required to submit I/O on a BFQ-scheduled device; changing the elevator needs privileges, but BFQ (with group I/O scheduling) is a common/default deployment (e.g. Android), so the attacker need not already be root.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no action by another user; the attacker triggers the bug solely through their own I/O and process/cgroup activity.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the local kernel's security authority (memory corruption / privilege escalation on the host); there is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary scope change.\nC:H - The issue is a use-after-free of bfq_queue objects (dangling last_bfqq_created / broken merge state), which per kernel CVSS guidance yields an arbitrary-read primitive via heap reuse of the freed object.\nI:H - The same UAF/memory-corruption condition enables heap spraying and arbitrary-write / control-flow hijacking in kernel context, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - The bug causes kernel oops/BUG_ON and slab freelist corruption (demonstrated in bugzilla 214503 crashes in bfq_get_queue / bfq_do_early_stable_merge), so availability impact is High."
