CVE-2026-53165 | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iomap: avoid potential null folio->mapping deref during error reporting When a buffered read fails, iomap_finish_folio_read() reports the error with fserror_report_io(folio->mapping->host, ...). This is called after ifs->read_bytes_pending has been decremented by the bytes attempted to be read. For a folio split across multiple read completions, the folio is only guaranteed to stay locked
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iomap: avoid potential null folio->mapping deref during error reporting
When a buffered read fails, iomap_finish_folio_read() reports the error
with fserror_report_io(folio->mapping->host, ...). This is called after
ifs->read_bytes_pending has been decremented by the bytes attempted to
be read.
For a folio split across multiple read completions, the folio is only
guaranteed to stay locked while read_bytes_pending > 0. Once
iomap_finish_folio_read() decrements read_bytes_pending, another
in-flight read can complete and end the read on the folio, which unlocks
it. This allows truncate logic to run and detach the folio (set
folio->mapping to NULL). The error reporting path then can dereference a
NULL folio->mapping. As reported by Sam Sun, this is the race that can
occur:
CPU0: failed completion CPU1: final completion CPU2: truncate
----------------------- ---------------------- --------------
read_bytes_pending -= len
finished = false
/* preempted before
fserror_report_io() */
read_bytes_pending -= len
finished = true
folio_end_read()
truncate clears
folio->mapping
fserror_report_io(
folio->mapping->host, ...)
^ NULL deref
Fix this by reporting the error first before decrementing
ifs->read_bytes_pending.
