      <title>CVE-2025-38627 — f2fs: compress: fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38627</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;f2fs: compress: fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The decompress_io_ctx may be released asynchronously after
I/O completion. If this file is deleted immediately after read,
and the kworker of processing post_read_wq has not been executed yet
due to high workloads, It is possible that the inode(f2fs_inode_info)
is evicted and freed before it is used f2fs_free_dic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UAF case as below:
    Thread A                                      Thread B
    - f2fs_decompress_end_io
     - f2fs_put_dic
      - queue_work
        add free_dic work to post_read_wq
                                                   - do_unlink
                                                    - iput
                                                     - evict
                                                      - call_rcu
    This file is deleted after read.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thread C                                 kworker to process post_read_wq
    - rcu_do_batch
     - f2fs_free_inode
      - kmem_cache_free
     inode is freed by rcu
                                             - process_scheduled_works
                                              - f2fs_late_free_dic
                                               - f2fs_free_dic
                                                - f2fs_release_decomp_mem
                                      read (dic-&amp;gt;inode)-&amp;gt;i_compress_algorithm&lt;/p&gt;
