"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfbdev: defio: fix the pagelist corruption\n\nEasily hit the below list corruption:\n==\nlist_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffffffffc0ceb090), but\nwas ffffec604507edc8. (prev=ffffec604507edc8).\nWARNING: CPU: 65 PID: 3959 at lib/list_debug.c:26\n__list_add_valid+0x53/0x80\nCPU: 65 PID: 3959 Comm: fbdev Tainted: G U\nRIP: 0010:__list_add_valid+0x53/0x80\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n fb_deferred_io_mkwrite+0xea/0x150\n do_page_mkwrite+0x57/0xc0\n do_wp_page+0x278/0x2f0\n __handle_mm_fault+0xdc2/0x1590\n handle_mm_fault+0xdd/0x2c0\n do_user_addr_fault+0x1d3/0x650\n exc_page_fault+0x77/0x180\n ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x8/0x30\n asm_exc_page_fault+0x1e/0x30\nRIP: 0033:0x7fd98fc8fad1\n==\n\nFigure out the race happens when one process is adding &page->lru into\nthe pagelist tail in fb_deferred_io_mkwrite(), another process is\nre-initializing the same &page->lru in fb_deferred_io_fault(), which is\nnot protected by the lock.\n\nThis fix is to init all the page lists one time during initialization,\nit not only fixes the list corruption, but also avoids INIT_LIST_HEAD()\nredundantly.\n\nV2: change \"int i\" to \"unsigned int i\" (Geert Uytterhoeven)"

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached by opening and mmap'ing a framebuffer device (/dev/fb*), then triggering page faults and page_mkwrite through local memory writes; it is not reachable via network packets or protocols.\nAC:L - The race is between fb_deferred_io_fault() (unlocked INIT_LIST_HEAD on page->lru) and fb_deferred_io_mkwrite() (list_add under lock); the attacker controls both sides via concurrent mappings/processes and the commit notes it is easily hit.\nPR:L - fb_open() has no capability check; access is only gated by /dev/fb* permissions (typically root:video 0660), which unprivileged local users in the video group or with session uaccess can obtain.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the race themselves by mmap'ing and writing the framebuffer; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Corruption occurs in the local kernel's deferred-I/O pagelist and can escalate privileges within the same OS security authority, not across VM/host or IOMMU boundaries.\nC:H - INIT_LIST_HEAD on an enlisted page->lru corrupts kernel list pointers, a classic memory-corruption primitive that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel reads.\nI:H - The same list corruption enables use-after-free and write primitives when subsequent list_add/list_del/workqueue walks continue on the corrupted pagelist, allowing control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The observed failure is kernel list_add corruption leading to WARN/oops, and corrupted list walks can panic or hang the kernel even without full exploitation."
