Title
dax: make sure inodes are flushed before destroy cache
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dax: make sure inodes are flushed before destroy cache A bug can be triggered by following command $ modprobe nd_pmem && modprobe -r nd_pmem [ 10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown() [ 10.060938] Slab 0x0000000085b729ac objects=9 used=1 fp=0x000000004f5ae469 flags=0x200000000010200(slab|head|node) [ 10.062433] Call Trace: [ 10.062673] dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44 [ 10.062865] slab_err+0x90/0xd0 [ 10.063619] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x13b/0x2f0 [ 10.063848] kmem_cache_destroy+0x4a/0x110 [ 10.064058] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x265/0x300 This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache. To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
