In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs:
compress: fix race condition of overwrite vs truncate pos_fsstress testcase
complains a panic as belew: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG
at fs/f2fs/compress.c:1082! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 4 PID:
2753477 Comm: kworker/u16:2 Tainted: G OE 5.12.0-rc1-custom #1 Hardware
name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014

root cause is truncate() may race with overwrite as below, so that one
reference count left in page can not guarantee the page attaching in
mapping tree all the time, after truncation, later find_lock_page() may
return NULL pointer. - prepare_compress_overwrite - f2fs_pagecache_get_page

  • unlock_page - f2fs_setattr - truncate_setsize - truncate_inode_page -
    delete_from_page_cache - find_lock_page Fix this by avoiding referencing
    updated page.
