CVE-2023-52682 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to wait on block writeback for post_read case If inode is compressed, but not encrypted, it missed to call f2fs_wait_on_block_writeback() to wait for GCed page writeback in IPU write path. Thread A GC-Thread - f2fs_gc - do_garbage_collect - gc_data_segment - move_data_block - f2fs_submit_page_write migrate normal cluster's block via meta_inode's page cache - f2fs_write_single_data_page - f2fs_do_write_data_page - f2fs_inplace_write_data - f2fs_submit_page_bio IRQ - f2fs_read_end_io IRQ old data overrides new data due to out-of-order GC and common IO. - f2fs_read_end_io

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
