CVE-2024-50006 MEDIUM

Published: 2024-10-21 | Last Modified: 2026-05-12 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate() Fuzzing reports a possible deadlock in jbd2_log_wait_commit. This issue is triggered when an EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE ioctl is set to require synchronous updates because the file descriptor is opened with O_SYNC. This can lead to the jbd2_journal_stop() function calling jbd2_might_wait_for_commit(), potentially causing a deadlock if the EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE call races with a write(2) system call. This problem only arises when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. In this case, the jbd2_might_wait_for_commit macro locks jbd2_handle in the jbd2_journal_stop function while i_data_sem is locked. This triggers lockdep because the jbd2_journal_start function might also lock the same jbd2_handle simultaneously. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller. Rule: add

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: se corrige el orden de desbloqueo de i_data_sem en ext4_ind_migrate() Fuzzing informa un posible bloqueo en jbd2_log_wait_commit. Este problema se activa cuando se configura un ioctl EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE para requerir actualizaciones sincrónicas porque el descriptor de archivo se abre con O_SYNC. Esto puede provocar que la función jbd2_journal_stop() llame a jbd2_might_wait_for_commit(), lo que puede provocar un bloqueo si la llamada a EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE compite con una llamada del sistema write(2). Este problema solo surge cuando CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING está habilitado. En este caso, la macro jbd2_might_wait_for_commit bloquea jbd2_handle en la función jbd2_journal_stop mientras i_data_sem está bloqueado. Esto activa lockdep porque la función jbd2_journal_start también podría bloquear el mismo jbd2_handle simultáneamente. Encontrado por Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) con syzkaller.
