CVE-2025-38627
f2fs: compress: fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: compress: fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic
The decompress_io_ctx may be released asynchronously after
I/O completion. If this file is deleted immediately after read,
and the kworker of processing post_read_wq has not been executed yet
due to high workloads, It is possible that the inode(f2fs_inode_info)
is evicted and freed before it is used f2fs_free_dic.
The UAF case as below:
Thread A Thread B
- f2fs_decompress_end_io
- f2fs_put_dic
- queue_work
add free_dic work to post_read_wq
- do_unlink
- iput
- evict
- call_rcu
This file is deleted after read.
Thread C kworker to process post_read_wq
- rcu_do_batch
- f2fs_free_inode
- kmem_cache_free
inode is freed by rcu
- process_scheduled_works
- f2fs_late_free_dic
- f2fs_free_dic
- f2fs_release_decomp_mem
read (dic->inode)->i_compress_algorithm
This patch store compress_algorithm and sbi in dic to avoid inode UAF.
In addition, the previous solution is deprecated in [1] may cause system hang.
