LIN1025-13735 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-31597

Created: Apr 27, 2026    Updated: Apr 30, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY  filemap_fault() may drop the mmap_lock before returning VM_FAULT_RETRY, as documented in mm/filemap.c:    "If our return value has VM_FAULT_RETRY set, it's because the mmap_lock   may be dropped before doing I/O or by lock_folio_maybe_drop_mmap()."  When this happens, a concurrent munmap() can call remove_vma() and free the vm_area_struct via RCU. The saved 'vma' pointer in ocfs2_fault() then becomes a dangling pointer, and the subsequent trace_ocfs2_fault() call dereferences it -- a use-after-free.  Fix this by saving ip_blkno as a plain integer before calling filemap_fault(), and removing vma from the trace event. Since ip_blkno is copied by value before the lock can be dropped, it remains valid regardless of what happens to the vma or inode afterward.
