Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer()

Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called

during nilfs2 unmount.

Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which

synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after

nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace

below:

nilfs_detach_log_writer

nilfs_segctor_destroy

nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread

flush_work

nilfs_iput_work_func

nilfs_dispose_list

nilfs_evict_inode

nilfs_transaction_commit

nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync)

nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with

log writer thread

*** DEADLOCK ***

Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log w

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.
