"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nzram: fix slot lock bit position on big-endian 64-bit\n\nThe slot lock is a bit operation on the whole __lock word, which flags and\nac_time alias as two u32s. On little-endian the lock bit lands in the\nposition ZRAM_ENTRY_LOCK reserves in flags, so the aliasing works out. On\n64-bit big-endian it lands in ac_time instead: with\nZRAM_TRACK_ENTRY_ACTIME enabled, storing the access time from\nmark_slot_accessed() or slot_free() wipes out the held lock bit, letting\nanother CPU take the same slot lock; an access time value with that bit\nset makes the slot look locked forever.\n\nShift the lock bit into the flags half of the word on big-endian 64-bit."

"value": "AV:L - The broken slot lock lives in the zram block driver and is reached only through local I/O: zram_submit_bio() for read/write/discard and zram_slot_free_notify() from swap. It is not in a network protocol parser, Bluetooth/WiFi path, or a physical-device driver.\nAC:L - On 64-bit big-endian kernels with CONFIG_ZRAM_TRACK_ENTRY_ACTIME, slot_free() zeros ac_time (the lock bit) immediately after slot_lock(), so exclusion is dropped on every free. An attacker who issues concurrent reads, writes, discards, or swap faults against the same zram page controls both sides of the race.\nPR:L - zram_open() and zram_submit_bio() impose no capability check. In the highest-impact setup zram is already swap or mounted scratch storage, so an unprivileged local user can induce paging or file I/O that hits the slot lock; admin-only device creation is only an environmental prerequisite.\nUI:N - After zram is configured as swap or writable storage, the attacker triggers the vulnerable path directly via memory pressure, page faults, madvise, or ordinary file I/O. No victim must mount a filesystem, open a crafted file, or otherwise participate.\nS:U - Impact is corruption of in-kernel zram table entries and zsmalloc objects on the same host. That is a standard kernel compromise and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security authority.\nC:H - Clearing the held slot lock lets one CPU zs_free() a zsmalloc object while another still maps it in read_from_zspool()/zs_obj_read_begin(). That use-after-free of compressed-page heap objects can be reused for arbitrary kernel reads.\nI:H - The same lost exclusion allows double-free of zsmalloc handles and torn updates of slot handle and flags, so a racing writer can free an object another CPU still uses or install a new handle over a live one, enabling arbitrary kernel writes and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Concurrent zs_free versus zs_obj_read_begin on the same handle can oops or panic the kernel, and an ac_time value that leaves the lock bit set makes later wait_on_bit_lock() sleep uninterruptibly forever on that slot."
