CVE-2025-71105 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-71105: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache As Hong Yun reported in mailing list: loop7: detected capacity change from 0 to 131072 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kmem_cache of name 'f2fs_xattr_entry-7:7' already exists WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 24426 at mm/slab_common.c:110 kmem_cache_sanity_check mm/slab_common.c:109 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 24426 at mm/slab_common.c:110 __kmem_cache_create_args+0xa6/0x320 mm/slab_common.c:307 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 24426 Comm: syz.7.1370 Not tainted 6.17.0-rc4 #1 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:kmem_cache_sanity_check mm/slab_common.c:109 [inline] RIP: 0010:__kmem_cache_create_args+0xa6/0x320 mm/slab_common.c:307 Call Trace:  __kmem_cache_create include/linux/slab.h:353 [inline]  f2fs_kmem_cache_create fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2943 [inline]  f2fs_init_xattr_caches+0xa5/0xe0 fs/f2fs/xattr.c:843  f2fs_fill_super+0x1645/0x2620 fs/f2fs/super.c:4918  get_tree_bdev_flags+0x1fb/0x260 fs/super.c:1692  vfs_get_tree+0x43/0x140 fs/super.c:1815  do_new_mount+0x201/0x550 fs/namespace.c:3808  do_mount fs/namespace.c:4136 [inline]  __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:4347 [inline]  __se_sys_mount+0x298/0x2f0 fs/namespace.c:4324  do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline]  do_syscall_64+0x8e/0x3a0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e The bug can be reproduced w/ below scripts: - mount /dev/vdb /mnt1 - mount /dev/vdc /mnt2 - umount /mnt1 - mounnt /dev/vdb /mnt1 The reason is if we created two slab caches, named f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3 and f2fs_xattr_entry-7:7, and they have the same slab size. Actually, slab system will only create one slab cache core structure which has slab name of "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3", and two slab caches share the same structure and cache address. So, if we destroy f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3 cache w/ cache address, it will decrease reference count of slab cache, rather than release slab cache entirely, since there is one more user has referenced the cache. Then, if we try to create slab cache w/ name "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3" again, slab system will find that there is existed cache which has the same name and trigger the warning. Let's changes to use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache for fixing.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-71105

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-71105 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2025-71105

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-71105.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-71105, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
