Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • Exploitation requires an existing local or physical foothold with privileges.
  • EPSS is 0.10% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Linux Linux and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: No default targetRemediation target: Normal maintenance

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Cross-source reconciliation

Remediation availability differs by product scope

Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 22 structured product or package states remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.

Distribution package intelligence

Release-specific package status

Debian, ubuntu findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.

24 package states
Package result overrides the generic status

BlackTree has verified remediation for at least one product or source, but the relevant distribution still reports no fixed package for 22 affected package states shown here. Treat those rows as affected with no fix until that distribution publishes a fixed version.

Repository candidate not checked

A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: close crash window in attr dabtree inactivation When inactivating an inode with node-format extended attributes, xfs_attr3_node_inactive() invalidates all child leaf/node blocks via xfs_trans_binval(), but intentionally does not remove the corresponding entries from their parent node blocks. The implicit assumption is that xfs_attr_inactive() will truncate the entire attr fork to zero extents afterwards, so log recovery will never reach the root node and follow those stale pointers. However, if a log shutdown occurs after the leaf/node block cancellations commit but before the attr bmap truncation commits, this assumption breaks. Recovery replays the attr bmap intact (the inode still has attr fork extents), but suppresses replay of all cancelled leaf/node blocks, maybe leaving them as stale data on disk. On the next mount, xlog_recover_process_iunlinks() retries inactivation and attempts to read the root node via the attr bmap. If the root node was not replayed, reading the unreplayed root block triggers a metadata verification failure immediately; if it was replayed, following its child pointers to unreplayed child blocks triggers the same failure: XFS (pmem0): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_da3_node_read_verify+0x53/0x220, xfs_da3_node block 0x78 XFS (pmem0): Unmount and run xfs_repair XFS (pmem0): First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ XFS (pmem0): metadata I/O error in "xfs_da_read_buf+0x104/0x190" at daddr 0x78 len 8 error 117 Fix this in two places: In xfs_attr3_node_inactive(), after calling xfs_trans_binval() on a child block, immediately remove the entry that references it from the parent node in the same transaction. This eliminates the window where the parent holds a pointer to a cancelled block. Once all children are removed, the now-empty root node is converted to a leaf block within the same transaction. This node-to-leaf conversion is necessary for crash safety. If the system shutdown after the empty node is written to the log but before the second-phase bmap truncation commits, log recovery will attempt to verify the root block on disk. xfs_da3_node_verify() does not permit a node block with count == 0; such a block will fail verification and trigger a metadata corruption shutdown. on the other hand, leaf blocks are allowed to have this transient state. In xfs_attr_inactive(), split the attr fork truncation into two explicit phases. First, truncate all extents beyond the root block (the child extents whose parent references have already been removed above). Second, invalidate the root block and truncate the attr bmap to zero in a single transaction. The two operations in the second phase must be atomic: as long as the attr bmap has any non-zero length, recovery can follow it to the root block, so the root block invalidation must commit together with the bmap-to-zero truncation.

Why

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource's state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2026-014755LinuxのLinux KernelにおけるTime-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) 競合状態の脆弱性

Linuxカーネルにおいて、以下の脆弱性が修正されました。xfsにおけるattr dabtreeの非アクティブ化に伴うクラッシュウィンドウの閉鎖問題です。ノード形式の拡張属性を持つinodeを非アクティブ化する際、xfs_attr3_node_inactive()はxfs_trans_binval()を用いてすべての子のリーフおよびノードブロックを無効化しますが、親ノードブロックから対応するエントリを削除しません。この暗黙の前提は、xfs_attr_inactive()がその後attrフォーク全体をゼロエクステントに切り詰めるため、ログ回復時にルートノードに到達して古いポインタを追跡しないというものです。しかし、リーフおよびノードブロックの取消がコミットされた後、attr bmapの切り詰めがコミットされる前にログシャットダウンが発生した場合、この前提は崩れます。回復処理はattr bmapをそのまま再生します(inodeはまだattrフォークのエクステントを持っています)が、すべての取消されたリーフおよびノードブロックの再生を抑制し、それらがディスク上に古いデータとして残る可能性があります。次回のマウント時に、xlog_recover_process_iunlinks()は非アクティブ化を再試行し、attr bmap経由でルートノードを読み込もうとします。もしルートノードが再生されていなければ、読み込み時にすぐにメタデータ検証エラーが発生し、再生されていた場合でも、子ポインタをたどって未再生の子ブロックを読み込もうとして同じエラーが発生します。エラー例としては、XFS (pmem0): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_da3_node_read_verify+0x53/0x220, xfs_da3_node block 0x78、XFS (pmem0): Unmount and run xfs_repair、XFS (pmem0): First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: ...、XFS (pmem0): metadata I/O error in "xfs_da_read_buf+0x104/0x190" at daddr 0x78 len 8 error 117があります。修正点は2箇所あります。1つ目は、xfs_attr3_node_inactive()内で子ブロックに対してxfs_trans_binval()を呼び出した後、同一トランザクション内で直ちに親ノードからその子ブロックを参照するエントリを削除し、親が取消されたブロックを指し示す期間を排除します。すべての子が削除された後、空になったルートノードは同じトランザクション内でリーフブロックに変換されます。このノードからリーフへの変換はクラッシュ安全性のために必要です。空のノードがログに書き込まれた後、第二段階のbmap切り詰めがコミットされる前にシステムシャットダウンが発生した場合、ログ回復はディスク上のルートブロックを検証しようとします。xfs_da3_node_verify()はcount == 0のノードブロックを許容しないため、そのようなブロックは検証に失敗しメタデータ破損シャットダウンを引き起こします。一方で、リーフブロックはこの一時的な状態を許容します。2つ目は、xfs_attr_inactive()内でattrフォークの切り詰めを2段階の明示的なフェーズに分割しました。まずルートブロックを超えるすべてのエクステント(親参照がすでに削除された子エクステント)を切り詰めます。次に、ルートブロックを無効化しattr bmapをゼロに切り詰める操作を単一トランザクションで行います。第二段階の2つの操作は原子で実行する必要があります。attr bmapに非ゼロ長が存在する限り、回復処理はそれを追跡してルートブロックに到達できるため、ルートブロックの無効化はbmapのゼロ切り詰めと同時にコミットされなければなりません。
