"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nexfat: validate cluster allocation bits of the allocation bitmap\n\nsyzbot created an exfat image with cluster bits not set for the allocation\nbitmap. exfat-fs reads and uses the allocation bitmap without checking\nthis. The problem is that if the start cluster of the allocation bitmap\nis 6, cluster 6 can be allocated when creating a directory with mkdir.\nexfat zeros out this cluster in exfat_mkdir, which can delete existing\nentries. This can reallocate the allocated entries. In addition,\nthe allocation bitmap is also zeroed out, so cluster 6 can be reallocated.\nThis patch adds exfat_test_bitmap_range to validate that clusters used for\nthe allocation bitmap are correctly marked as in-use."

{

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached by getting a crafted exFAT image mounted from a local block device, loop file, or removable medium and then issuing a local `mkdir()`; there is no network consumer of `exfat_allocate_bitmap()`.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the image: clearing the bitmap's own allocation bit and pointing `start_clu` at a low cluster makes `exfat_find_free_bitmap()` deterministically return that cluster on the very first allocation, so a single `mkdir` reliably zeroes the live bitmap with no race, heap shaping, or memory-layout dependency.\nPR:L - Direct `mount()` needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but ubiquitous privileged mount brokers (udisks2, systemd-mount, autofs, Android vold) let an unprivileged local user get an attacker-supplied exFAT volume or loop image mounted rw, after which any user with write access to the mount can run the triggering `mkdir`.\nUI:N - The attacker requests the mount through the automount broker and runs `mkdir` themselves; on a kiosk or shared workstation inserting their own exFAT stick achieves the same, with no action required from any other user or administrator.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to the kernel and filesystem that own the mount; no VM, IOMMU, container, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Once the bitmap is zeroed the allocator re-hands out clusters that are still live, so a newly created file is backed by clusters holding the root directory, other files' data, and the allocation bitmap itself — reading that file discloses their full contents, an unbounded read of co-resident data on the shared volume rather than a small bounded leak.\nI:H - This is the core defect: the kernel zeroes and overwrites in-use on-disk metadata (\"can delete existing entries\") and reallocates already-allocated clusters, so attacker-controlled file writes land directly in directory entries and in the live in-kernel allocation bitmap, giving unbounded modification of structures the filesystem subsequently trusts.\nA:H - The zeroed bitmap makes every `exfat_clear_bitmap()` fail with `-EIO`, desyncs `used_clusters` into `exfat_fs_error_ratelimit()`, and produces aliased/looping cluster chains that yield task hangs and the syzbot-reported deadlock WARNING; with `errors=panic`, `panic_on_warn`, or `panic_on_oops` this is a full panic, and the volume is left permanently unusable."
