Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: resample the data fork mapping after cycling ILOCK xfs_reflink_fill_{cow_hole,delalloc} are both presented with an inode, a data fork mapping, and a cow fork mapping. Unfortunately, these two helpers cycle the ILOCK to grab a transaction, which means that the mappings are stale as soon as we reacquire the ILOCK. Currently we refresh the cow fork mapping by re-calling xfs_find_trim_cow_extent, but we don't refresh the data fork mapping beforehand, which means that the xfs_bmap_trim_cow in that function queries the refcount btree about the wrong physical blocks and returns an inaccurate value in *shared. If *shared i

RefluXFS: A Linux Kernel Local Privilege Escalation to Root in XFS (CVE-2026-64600)

A critical local privilege escalation vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-64600 and dubbed "RefluXFS," has been discovered in the Linux kernel's XFS filesystem. The flaw, a race condition in the copy-on-write (CoW) path, allows an unprivileged local user to overwrite protected files on disk and achieve root privileges on affected systems. This includes environments running SELinux in Enforcing…
