"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of ns_writer on remount\n\nIf a nilfs2 filesystem is downgraded to read-only due to metadata\ncorruption on disk and is remounted read/write, or if emergency read-only\nremount is performed, detaching a log writer and synchronizing the\nfilesystem can be done at the same time.\n\nIn these cases, use-after-free of the log writer (hereinafter\nnilfs->ns_writer) can happen as shown in the scenario below:\n\n Task1 Task2\n -------------------------------- ------------------------------\n nilfs_construct_segment\n nilfs_segctor_sync\n init_wait\n init_waitqueue_entry\n add_wait_queue\n schedule\n nilfs_remount (R/W remount case)\n\t\t\t\t nilfs_attach_log_writer\n nilfs_detach_log_writer\n nilfs_segctor_destroy\n kfree\n finish_wait\n _raw_spin_lock_irqsave\n __raw_spin_lock_irqsave\n do_raw_spin_lock\n debug_spin_lock_before <-- use-after-free\n\nWhile Task1 is sleeping, nilfs->ns_writer is freed by Task2. After Task1\nwaked up, Task1 accesses nilfs->ns_writer which is already freed. This\nscenario diagram is based on the Shigeru Yoshida's post [1].\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by not detaching nilfs->ns_writer on remount so\nthat this UAF race doesn't happen. Along with this change, this patch\nalso inserts a few necessary read-only checks with superblock instance\nwhere only the ns_writer pointer was used to check if the filesystem is\nread-only."

"value": "AV:L - The UAF is reached only through local VFS remount and concurrent sync/fsync on a mounted nilfs2 volume (nilfs_remount → nilfs_detach_log_writer / nilfs_attach_log_writer racing nilfs_construct_segment → nilfs_segctor_sync); nilfs2 is FS_REQUIRES_DEV with no network-facing parser.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race—issuing fsync/NILFS_IOCTL_SYNC/writeback that sleeps in nilfs_segctor_sync while concurrently remounting ro/rw to free ns_writer—so success does not depend on conditions outside attacker influence; syzbot reproduced it.\nPR:L - Although remount checks CAP_SYS_ADMIN in sb->s_user_ns and nilfs2 lacks FS_USERNS_MOUNT, an unprivileged desktop/kiosk user can mount a crafted or removable nilfs2 image via udisks2/polkit and have that privileged helper perform remount while driving ordinary fsync/sync, matching CVE-2022-49850.\nUI:N - In the automount/udisks scenario the attacker supplies the volume, obtains the mount, and drives both the syncing thread and the remount themselves; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - This is a standard in-kernel heap use-after-free within the host kernel's authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - kfree of nilfs_sc_info while another task still holds a pointer into it (finish_wait on sc_wait_request) is a classic heap UAF; reclaim/spray of that object enables arbitrary kernel read primitives.\nI:H - The same UAF of the segment-constructor object lets an attacker control freed wait-queue and related state consumed after wakeup, enabling write/control-flow hijacking consistent with treating exploitable kernel UAFs as High integrity.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, use of the freed ns_writer in finish_wait/spinlock paths causes kernel oops/panic, fully impacting availability per UAF guidance."
