CVE-2021-47004
7.1 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2021-47004 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 28, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid touching checkpointed data in get_victim()
In CP disabling mode, there are two issues when using LFS or SSR | AT_SSR
mode to select victim:
1. LFS is set to find source section during GC, the victim should have
no checkpointed data, since after GC, section could not be set free for
reuse.
Previously, we only check valid chpt blocks in current segment rather
than section, fix it.
2. SSR | AT_SSR are set to find target segment for writes which can be
fully filled by checkpointed and newly written blocks, we should never
select such segment, otherwise it can cause panic or data corruption
during allocation, potential case is described as below:
a) target segment has 'n' (n < 512) ckpt valid blocks
b) GC migrates 'n' valid blocks to other segment (segment is still
in dirty list)
c) GC migrates '512 - n' blocks to target segment (segment has 'n'
cp_vblocks and '512 - n' vblocks)
d) If GC
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
