Title
erofs: fix managed cache race for unaligned extents
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix managed cache race for unaligned extents After unaligned compressed extents were introduced, the following race could occur: [Thread 1] [Thread 2] (z_erofs_fill_bio_vec) <handle a Z_EROFS_PREALLOCATED_FOLIO folio> ... filemap_add_folio (1) (z_erofs_bind_cache) <the same folio is found..> .. .. folio_attach_private (2) filemap_add_folio (3) again Since (1) is executed but (2) hasn't been executed yet, it's possible that another thread finds the same managed folio in z_erofs_bind_cache() for a different pcluster and calls filemap_add_folio() again since folio->private is still Z_EROFS_PREALLOCATED_FOLIO. Fix this by explicitly clearing folio->private before making the folio visible in the managed cache so that another pcluster can simply wait on the locked managed folio as what we did for other shared cases [1]. This only impacts unaligned data compression (`-E48bit` with zstd, for example). [1] Commit 9e2f9d34dd12 ("erofs: handle overlapped pclusters out of crafted images properly") was originally introduced to handle crafted overlapped extents, but it addresses unaligned extents as well.

There is no network-facing handler; exploitation requires local filesystem access.\nAC:L - The race is between concurrent read/decompress threads that the attacker fully controls by issuing parallel reads against a crafted image with overlapping unaligned compressed extents. No timing or layout conditions outside attacker control are required beyond crafting the image and spawning concurrent I/O.\nPR:L - Triggering the vulnerable managed-cache path requires mounting a crafted EROFS image with unaligned zstd extents, which is achievable with CAP_SYS_ADMIN inside an unprivileged user namespace (`unshare -Urn`) plus loop mount. After mount, only normal unprivileged file read access is needed to hit the race.\nUI:N - Once the attacker can mount the crafted image (e.g., via user namespace), exploitation is fully automated through concurrent reads and requires no additional victim interaction such as opening a specific application or clicking a link.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory corruption and privilege escalation within the same kernel/host security boundary; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority sandbox breakout.\nC:H - The race leaves managed folios visible in the page cache while `folio-\u003eprivate` still marks them preallocated, allowing duplicate `filemap_add_folio` and conflicting `folio_attach_private`/`folio_detach_private` bindings to different pclusters\u2014classic page-cache corruption that can yield arbitrary kernel memory disclosure via confused folio ownership.\nI:H - Associating one managed folio with multiple pclusters corrupts `folio-\u003eprivate` and compressed-bvec references, creating use-after-free/refcount confusion in the managed cache that is exploitable for arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijack, not merely a benign error return.\nA:H - The corrupted managed-cache state can cause kernel oops/panic, hung tasks, or deadlock (similar overlapped-pcluster crafted-image failures previously caused syzbot hangs), and any successful UAF in this path also implies high availability impact even before full exploitation."
