- The vulnerable path is iomap writeback (iomap_writepages → iomap_do_writepage → iomap_writepage_map) for local filesystems using iomap (XFS, GFS2, zonefs), reached by dirtying and syncing a local file. It is not in a network protocol parser; remote services only hit it indirectly via local FS writeback.\nAC:L - An unprivileged attacker can induce map_blocks failures (e.g. ENOSPC on XFS delalloc conversion) and control both sides of the race by syncing/writeback on one thread while truncating or invalidating the same file on another, so success does not depend on conditions outside their influence.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged user who can write files on an iomap-backed filesystem (commonly XFS on servers/cloud images) can dirty pages, force writeback errors, and race truncate/invalidate; no init-namespace root or capabilities are required.\nUI:N - The attacker creates, writes, syncs, and truncates their own files on an already-mounted filesystem; no separate victim action such as mounting a volume or opening a crafted file is required.\nS:U - Impact is host-kernel memory corruption / oops within the same OS security authority, enabling local privilege escalation or DoS, not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary compromise.\nC:H - After unlock, folio->mapping may be cleared or the folio reused; mapping_set_error then operates on a stale mapping pointer (author: memory corruption / wrong-file error), which is UAF-style corruption that can be leveraged for kernel information disclosure.\nI:H - mapping_set_error performs kernel writes (errseq_set on wb_err/s_wb_err and set_bit on mapping flags) through folio->mapping after it may point at reused or unrelated memory, yielding a write/corruption primitive consistent with integrity High.\nA:H - The demonstrated failure is a kernel NULL pointer dereference in errseq_set during writeback (wb_workfn), causing oops/panic, and any folio mapping UAF remains crashable even without a full exploit."}]}],"providerMetadata":{"dateUpdated":"2026-10-03T10:54:48.083Z","orgId":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","shortName":"Linux"},"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76a9234cb66479e9d02b15fd0f3e349cb2320279"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/169adb79cfd59250a5b1f68cdc69e7287fc5a0ce"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82c66c46f73b88be74c869e2cbfef45281adf3c6"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7308591d9c7787aec58f6a01a7823f14e90db7a2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d5f3ba1ac28059bdf7000cae2403e4e984308d2"}],"title":"iomap:
