{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The trigger is entirely local — an `ioctl(F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE)` followed by a `fallocate(2)` syscall on a file the attacker created on a mounted f2fs volume. No network or adjacent-network reachability exists.\nAC:L - The reproducer is deterministic and single-threaded: touch, pin, fallocate 4GiB immediately shuts the filesystem down, with no race to win and no memory-layout dependency. On the affected configuration (f2fs on a zoned device, as shipped on Android zUFS and SMR/ZNS storage) every attempt succeeds.\nPR:L - `f2fs_ioc_set_pin_file()` performs no capability check whatsoever — only regular-file and write-access checks — and `f2fs_fallocate()` is unprivileged, so any local user or sandboxed app with write access to a directory on the f2fs mount (e.g. Android `/data`) can reach `f2fs_allocate_pinning_section()`.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself; no victim action is required beyond the filesystem already being mounted, which is normal system state.\nS:U - The vulnerability and its impact are both confined to the kernel/filesystem security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - There is no read primitive — the stale-summary entries are rejected by `is_alive()`'s blkaddr comparison and `__set_test_and_free()` prevents a cursec from being re-handed out, so no memory or cross-file data is disclosed.\nI:H - The bug drives GC to migrate blocks in a section a log is actively writing, producing the SIT/SSA inconsistency the fix is named for, setting `SBI_NEED_FSCK` and recording `STOP_CP_REASON_CORRUPTED_SUMMARY` in the superblock so the volume requires repair; the forced checkpoint stop also discards other users' uncheckpointed data on the shared filesystem, a consequence the unprivileged attacker inflicts system-wide.\nA:H - `f2fs_handle_critical_error()` either panics the kernel outright under `errors=panic`, or sets `CP_ERROR_FLAG` so the entire filesystem returns `-EIO` for all subsequent operations until unmount and fsck — on a device whose `/data` or root volume is zoned f2fs this is a complete, unprivileged denial of service."
