Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-31450 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-2026-31450/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31450/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31450","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31450/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31450","record":{"aliases":["AZL-83375","BELL-CVE-2026-31450","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31450","GHSA-fr68-gvh3-4qhv","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31450","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31450","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31450","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31450","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31450","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31450"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ext4","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel ext4 filesystem allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by triggering a null pointer dereference during fast commit flush.","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":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"},{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\next4: publish jinode after initialization\n\next4_inode_attach_jinode() publishes ei-\u003ejinode to concurrent users.\nIt used to set ei-\u003ejinode before jbd2_journal_init_jbd_inode(),\nallowing a reader to observe a non-NULL jinode with i_vfs_inode\nstill unset.\n\nThe fast commit flush path can then pass this jinode to\njbd2_wait_inode_data(), which dereferences i_vfs_inode-\u003ei_mapping and\nmay crash.\n\nBelow is the crash I observe:\n```\nBUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000000010beb47f4\nPGD 110e51067 P4D 110e51067 PUD 0\nOops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\nCPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 4850 Comm: fc_fsync_bench_ Not tainted 6.18.0-00764-g795a690c06a5 #1 PREEMPT(voluntary)\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Arch Linux 1.17.0-2-2 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:xas_find_marked+0x3d/0x2e0\nCode: e0 03 48 83 f8 02 0f 84 f0 01 00 00 48 8b 47 08 48 89 c3 48 39 c6 0f 82 fd 01 00 00 48 85 c9 74 3d 48 83 f9 03 77 63 4c 8b 0f \u003c49\u003e 8b 71 08 48 c7 47 18 00 00 00 00 48 89 f1 83 e1 03 48 83 f9 02\nRSP: 0018:ffffbbee806e7bf0 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: 000000000010beb4 RBX: 000000000010beb4 RCX: 0000000000000003\nRDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000002000300000 RDI: ffffbbee806e7c10\nRBP: 0000000000000001 R08: 0000002000300000 R09: 000000010beb47ec\nR10: ffff9ea494590090 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000002000300000\nR13: ffffbbee806e7c90 R14: ffff9ea494513788 R15: ffffbbee806e7c88\nFS: 00007fc2f9e3e6c0(0000) GS:ffff9ea6b1444000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 000000010beb47f4 CR3: 0000000119ac5000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0\nPKRU: 55555554\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\nfilemap_get_folios_tag+0x87/0x2a0\n__filemap_fdatawait_range+0x5f/0xd0\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? __schedule+0x3e7/0x10c0\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? preempt_count_sub+0x5f/0x80\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? cap_safe_nice+0x37/0x70\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? preempt_count_sub+0x5f/0x80\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\nfilemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors+0x12/0x40\next4_fc_commit+0x697/0x8b0\n? ext4_file_write_iter+0x64b/0x950\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? preempt_count_sub+0x5f/0x80\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? vfs_write+0x356/0x480\n? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n? preempt_count_sub+0x5f/0x80\next4_sync_file+0xf7/0x370\ndo_fsync+0x3b/0x80\n? syscall_trace_enter+0x108/0x1d0\n__x64_sys_fdatasync+0x16/0x20\ndo_syscall_64+0x62/0x2c0\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n...\n```\n\nFix this by initializing the jbd2_inode first.\nUse smp_wmb() and WRITE_ONCE() to publish ei-\u003ejinode after\ninitialization.
