"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndm thin: make get_first_thin use rcu-safe list first function\n\nThe documentation in rculist.h explains the absence of list_empty_rcu()\nand cautions programmers against relying on a list_empty() ->\nlist_first() sequence in RCU safe code. This is because each of these\nfunctions performs its own READ_ONCE() of the list head. This can lead\nto a situation where the list_empty() sees a valid list entry, but the\nsubsequent list_first() sees a different view of list head state after a\nmodification.\n\nIn the case of dm-thin, this author had a production box crash from a GP\nfault in the process_deferred_bios path. This function saw a valid list\nhead in get_first_thin() but when it subsequently dereferenced that and\nturned it into a thin_c, it got the inside of the struct pool, since the\nlist was now empty and referring to itself. The kernel on which this\noccurred printed both a warning about a refcount_t being saturated, and\na UBSAN error for an out-of-bounds cpuid access in the queued spinlock,\nprior to the fault itself. When the resulting kdump was examined, it\nwas possible to see another thread patiently waiting in thin_dtr's\nsynchronize_rcu.\n\nThe thin_dtr call managed to pull the thin_c out of the active thins\nlist (and have it be the last entry in the active_thins list) at just\nthe wrong moment which lead to this crash.\n\nFortunately, the fix here is straight forward. Switch get_first_thin()\nfunction to use list_first_or_null_rcu() which performs just a single\nREAD_ONCE() and returns NULL if the list is already empty.\n\nThis was run against the devicemapper test suite's thin-provisioning\nsuites for delete and suspend and no regressions were observed."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is the dm-thin pool worker, reached via block I/O to a thin device and via DM device teardown — both require local access to the machine (device file / ioctl), with no network-facing path.\nAC:L - The attacker drives one side of the race continuously (unbounded I/O to the thin device keeps process_deferred_bios re-running) and the removal side is repeatable in a loop, so attempts are unlimited; the commit reports the race firing spontaneously on a production box with no attacker at all.\nPR:L - An unprivileged user with access to a thin volume (container guest, dm device with group/ACL access) supplies the malicious half of the race by flooding deferred bios, while the thin-device teardown is routine automation on LVM-thin/container-storage hosts; with deferred remove armed, an unprivileged holder of the device even triggers thin_dtr directly via close().\nUI:N - No victim action is required — thin volume teardown happens automatically under LVM/container orchestration, and the pool worker runs on its own periodic waker plus attacker-generated I/O.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The type confusion makes the worker treat a kernel text address as a struct pool and read through it, and the garbage qspinlock value causes out-of-bounds per-CPU array indexing (the reported UBSAN OOB access), giving wild out-of-bounds reads that can be leveraged for disclosure.\nI:H - The bogus thin_c overlays struct pool's function-pointer tail, so refcount_inc() and spin_lock_irq() write over live function pointers and list_splice_init() writes through wild list heads — memory corruption of indirect-call targets that is exploitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The bug produced a confirmed general-protection fault in process_deferred_bios on a production system, panicking the kernel and taking down all storage served by the thin pool."
