DescriptionNVD

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

f2fs: protect extension_list reading with sb_lock in f2fs_sbi_show()

In f2fs_sbi_show(), the extension_list, extension_count and hot_ext_count are read without holding sbi->sb_lock. If a concurrent sysfs store modifies the extension list via f2fs_update_extension_list(), the show path may read inconsistent count and array contents, potentially leading to out-of-bounds access or displaying stale data.

Fix this by holding sb_lock around the entire extension list read and format operation.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the Linux kernel F2FS filesystem lets a local user trigger inconsistent access to the mount extension list by racing a sysfs read against a concurrent update. The f2fs_sbi_show() handler reads extension_list, extension_count and hot_ext_count without holding sbi->sb_lock, so a simultaneous f2fs_update_extension_list() store can yield a mismatched count/array pair and drive an out-of-bounds read that leaks stale kernel data or crashes the system. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.17%, 7th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
