It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-46982 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46982/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46982/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-46982","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46982/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-46982","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-46982","GHSA-phj2-fhf8-vr32","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-46982"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's f2fs compressed file handling allows a local attacker to trigger a kernel panic, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: compress: fix race condition of overwrite vs truncate\n\npos_fsstress testcase complains a panic as belew:\n\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nkernel BUG at fs/f2fs/compress.c:1082!\ninvalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI\nCPU: 4 PID: 2753477 Comm: kworker/u16:2 Tainted: G           OE     5.12.0-rc1-custom #1\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014\nWorkqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-252:16)\nRIP: 0010:prepare_compress_overwrite+0x4c0/0x760 [f2fs]\nCall Trace:\n f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite+0x5f/0x80 [f2fs]\n f2fs_write_cache_pages+0x468/0x8a0 [f2fs]\n f2fs_write_data_pages+0x2a4/0x2f0 [f2fs]\n do_writepages+0x38/0xc0\n __writeback_single_inode+0x44/0x2a0\n writeback_sb_inodes+0x223/0x4d0\n __writeback_inodes_wb+0x56/0xf0\n wb_writeback+0x1dd/0x290\n wb_workfn+0x309/0x500\n process_one_work+0x220/0x3c0\n worker_thread+0x53/0x420\n kthread+0x12f/0x150\n ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30\n\nThe root cause is truncate() may race with overwrite as below,\nso that one reference count left in page can not guarantee the\npage attaching in mapping tree all the time, after truncation,\nlater find_lock_page() may return NULL pointer.\n\n- prepare_compress_overwrite\n -
