"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nspufs: fix gang directory lifetimes\n\nprior to \"[POWERPC] spufs: Fix gang destroy leaks\" we used to have\na problem with gang lifetimes - creation of a gang returns opened\ngang directory, which normally gets removed when that gets closed,\nbut if somebody has created a context belonging to that gang and\nkept it alive until the gang got closed, removal failed and we\nended up with a leak.\n\nUnfortunately, it had been fixed the wrong way. Dentry of gang\ndirectory was no longer pinned, and rmdir on close was gone.\nOne problem was that failure of open kept calling simple_rmdir()\nas cleanup, which meant an unbalanced dput(). Another bug was\nin the success case - gang creation incremented link count on\nroot directory, but that was no longer undone when gang got\ndestroyed.\n\nFix consists of\n\t* reverting the commit in question\n\t* adding a counter to gang, protected by ->i_rwsem\nof gang directory inode.\n\t* having it set to 1 at creation time, dropped\nin both spufs_dir_close() and spufs_gang_close() and bumped\nin spufs_create_context(), provided that it's not 0.\n\t* using simple_recursive_removal() to take the gang\ndirectory out when counter reaches zero."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached only through the local `spu_create()` syscall on a mounted spufs instance; there is no network, adjacent-network, or physical component to the attack.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically forces the error path by exhausting their own fd table so `get_unused_fd_flags()` returns -EMFILE, making the unbalanced `dput()`/dentry kill occur on every attempt; the subsequent reallocation window is widened at will via heap spraying and CPU contention, both under attacker control.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can trigger it — the gang-creation path contains no `capable()` check at all, and `spufs_create()` bypasses `may_create()`, so only traverse permission on the spufs root (granted by the default 0755 mode) is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence itself with a single `spu_create(..., SPU_CREATE_GANG, ...)` call; no action by any other user is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel dcache structures within the same security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - The dentry is killed and RCU-freed while the caller still holds and uses the pointer, so reallocating the `dentry_cache` object lets the attacker have the kernel read and act on controlled `d_flags`, `d_op`, `d_inode` and `d_parent` fields, yielding kernel-memory disclosure primitives.\nI:H - The refcount underflow plus `dput()` on freed memory gives an arbitrary-decrement primitive and a path to `dentry->d_op->d_delete()` and `iput()`/`dput()` on forged pointers, i.e. control-flow hijack and privilege escalation.\nA:H - Even without reallocation the second `dput()` reliably triggers `WARN_ON_ONCE(d_lockref.count <= 0)` on a dead dentry and corrupts dcache/inode link accounting, causing an oops — a full panic on `panic_on_warn` systems — and the attack is repeatable at will."
