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-2026-23267 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-2026-23267/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23267/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-23267","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23267/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-23267","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-23267","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23267","GHSA-9m9w-6gjg-9m6r","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-23267","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-23267","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-23267","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-23267"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel F2FS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel F2FS filesystem can cause mount failures and denial of service during concurrent atomic writes and checkpoints.","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":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: fix IS_CHECKPOINTED flag inconsistency issue caused by concurrent atomic commit and checkpoint writes\n\nDuring SPO tests, when mounting F2FS, an -EINVAL error was returned from\nf2fs_recover_inode_page. The issue occurred under the following scenario\n\nThread A                                     Thread B\nf2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write\n - f2fs_do_sync_file // atomic = true\n  - f2fs_fsync_node_pages\n    : last_folio = inode folio\n    : schedule before folio_lock(last_folio) f2fs_write_checkpoint\n                                              - block_operations// writeback last_folio\n                                              - schedule before f2fs_flush_nat_entries\n    : set_fsync_mark(last_folio, 1)\n    : set_dentry_mark(last_folio, 1)\n    : folio_mark_dirty(last_folio)\n    - __write_node_folio(last_folio)\n      : f2fs_down_read(\u0026sbi-\u003enode_write)//block\n                                              - f2fs_flush_nat_entries\n                                                : {struct nat_entry}-\u003eflag |= BIT(IS_CHECKPOINTED)\n                                              - unblock_operations\n                                                : f2fs_up_write(\u0026sbi-\u003enode_write)\n                                             f2fs_write_checkpoint//return\n      : f2fs_do_write_node_page()\nf2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write//return\n                                             SPO\n\nThread A calls f2fs_need_dentry_mark(sbi, ino), and the last_folio has\nalready been written once. However, the {struct nat_entry}-\u003eflag did not\nhave the IS_CHECKPOINTED set, causing set_dentry_mark(last_folio, 1) and\nwrite last_folio again after Thread B finishes f2fs_write_checkpoint.\n\nAfter SPO and reboot, it was detected that {struct node_info}-\u003eblk_addr\nwas not NULL_ADDR because Thread B successfully write the checkpoint.\n\nThis issue only occurs in atomic write scenarios. For regular file\nfsync operations, the folio must be dirty. If\nblock_operations-\u003ef2fs_sync_node_pages successfully submit the folio\nwrite, this path will not be executed. Otherwise, the\nf2fs_write_checkpoint will need to wait for the folio write submission\nto complete, as sbi-\u003enr_pages[F2FS_DIRTY_NODES] \u003e 0. Therefore, the\nsituation where f2fs_need_dentry_mark checks that the {struct\nnat_entry}-\u003eflag /wo the IS_CHECKPOINTED flag, but the folio write has\nalready been submitted, will not occur.\n\nTherefore, for atomic file fsync, sbi-\u003enode_write should be acquired\nthrough __write_node_folio to ensure that the IS_CHECKPOINTED flag\ncorrectly indicates that the checkpoint write has been completed.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"f2fs: fix IS_CHECKPOINTED flag inconsistency issue caused by concurrent atomic commit and checkpoint writes","id":"CVE-2026-23267","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"apparmor: fix unprivileged local user can do privileged policy management","id":"CVE-2026-23268"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"fbdev: rivafb: fix divide error in nv3_arb()","id":"CVE-2026-23266"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-03-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel F2FS filesystem can cause mount failures and denial of service during concurrent atomic writes and checkpoints.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-23267/"}
