Linux 커널의 F2FS 파일 시스템에서 발생하는 레이스 컨디션 취약점입니다. 특정 상황에서 페이지 캐시의 folio가 LRU 리스트에서 적절히 제거되지 않은 채 메모리 할당기로 반환되어, 이후 리스트 조작 시 커널 패닉 및 시스템 충돌을 유발합니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
파일 시스템이 데이터를 정리하는 과정에서 메모리 관리 규칙이 꼬여 컴퓨터가 갑자기 멈추거나 꺼지는 현상이 발생할 수 있습니다. 특히 저장 공간이 거의 가득 찼을 때 발생할 확률이 높습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "f2fs: remove non-uptodate folio from the page cache in move_data_block"
This reverts commit 9609dd704725a40cd63d915f2ab6c44248a44598.
The kernel panics are keeping to be reported especially when the f2fs
partition get almost full. By investigation, we find that the reason is
one f2fs page got freed to buddy without being deleted from LRU and the
root cause is the race happened in [2] which is enrolled by this commit.
There are 3 race processes in this scenario, please find below for their
main activities.
The changed code in move_data_block() lets the GC path evict the tail-end
folio from the page cache through folio_end_dropbehind(). Once
folio_unmap_invalidate() removes the folio from mapping->i_pages, the
page-cache references for all pages in the folio are dropped. The folio
is then kept alive only by temporary external references, which allows a
later split to operate on a folio whose subpages are no longer protected
by page-cache references.
After the page-cache references are gone, split_folio_to_order() can
split the big folio into individual pages and put the resulting subpages
back on the LRU. For tail pages beyond EOF, split removes them from the
page cache and drops their page-cache references. A tail page can then
remain on the LRU with PG_lru set while holding only the split caller's
temporary reference. When free_folio_and_swap_cache() drops that final
reference, the page enters the final folio_put() release path.
In parallel, folio_isolate_lru() can observe the same tail page with a
non-zero refcount and PG_lru set. It clears PG_lru before taking its own
reference. If this races with the final folio_put() from the split path,
__folio_put() sees PG_lru already cleared and skips lruvec_del_folio().
The page is then freed back to the allocator while its lru links are
still present in the LRU list. A later LRU operation on a neighboring
page detects the stale link and reports list corruption.
