Linux Kernel up to 6.0.11 include/linux/sched/mm.h btrfs_qgroup_inherit stack-based overflow

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.0.11. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function btrfs_qgroup_inherit of the file include/linux/sched/mm.h. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: qgroup: fix sleep from invalid context bug in btrfs_qgroup_inherit() Syzkaller reported BUG as follows: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:274 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134 __might_resched.cold+0x222/0x26b kmem_cache_alloc+0x2e7/0x3c0 update_qgroup_limit_item+0xe1/0x390 btrfs_qgroup_inherit+0x147b/0x1ee0 create_subvol+0x4eb/0x1710 btrfs_mksubvol+0xfe5/0x13f0 __btrfs_ioctl_snap_create+0x2b0/0x430 btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2+0x25a/0x520 btrfs_ioctl+0x2a1c/0x5ce0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x193/0x200 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 Fix this by calling qgroup_dirty() on @dstqgroup, and update limit item in btrfs_run_qgroups() later outside of the spinlock context.
