{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-52737","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  btrfs: lock the inode in shared mode before starting fiemap  Currently fiemap does not take the inode's lock (VFS lock), it only locks a file range in the inode's io tree. This however can lead to a deadlock if we have a concurrent fsync on the file and fiemap code triggers a fault when accessing the user space buffer with fiemap_fill_next_extent(). The deadlock happens on the inode's i_mmap_lock semaphore, which is taken both by fsync and btrfs_page_mkwrite(). This deadlock was recently reported by syzbot and triggers a trace like the following:     task:syz-executor361 state:D stack:20264 pid:5668  ppid:5119   flags:0x00004004    Call Trace:     \u003cTASK\u003e     context_switch kernel/sched/core.c:5293 [inline]     __schedule+0x995/0xe20 kernel/sched/core.c:6606     schedule+0xcb/0x190 kernel/sched/core.c:6682     wait_on_state fs/btrfs/extent-io-tree.c:707 [inline]     wait_extent_bit+0x577/0x6f0 fs/btrfs/extent-io-tree.c:751     lock_extent+0x1c2/0x280 fs/btrfs/extent-io-tree.c:1742     find_lock_delalloc_range+0x4e6/0x9c0 fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:488     writepage_delalloc+0x1ef/0x540 fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:1863     __extent_writepage+0x736/0x14e0 fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:2174     extent_write_cache_pages+0x983/0x1220 fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:3091     extent_writepages+0x219/0x540 fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:3211     do_writepages+0x3c3/0x680 mm/page-writeback.c:2581     filemap_fdatawrite_wbc+0x11e/0x170 mm/filemap.c:388     __filemap_fdatawrite_range mm/filemap.c:421 [inline]     filemap_fdatawrite_range+0x175/0x200 mm/filemap.c:439     btrfs_fdatawrite_range fs/btrfs/file.c:3850 [inline]     start_ordered_ops fs/btrfs/file.c:1737 [inline]     btrfs_sync_file+0x4ff/0x1190 fs/btrfs/file.c:1839     generic_write_sync include/linux/fs.h:2885 [inline]     btrfs_do_write_iter+0xcd3/0x1280 fs/btrfs/file.c:1684     call_write_iter include/linux/fs.h:2189 [inline]     new_sync_write fs/read_write.c:491 [inline]     vfs_write+0x7dc/0xc50 fs/read_write.c:584     ksys_write+0x177/0x2a0 fs/read_write.c:637     do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline]     do_syscall_64+0x3d/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd    RIP: 0033:0x7f7d4054e9b9    RSP: 002b:00007f7d404fa2f8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001    RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f7d405d87a0 RCX: 00007f7d4054e9b9    RDX: 0000000000000090 RSI: 0000000020000000 RDI: 0000000000000006    RBP: 00007f7d405a51d0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000    R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 61635f65646f6e69    R13: 65646f7475616f6e R14: 7261637369646f6e R15: 00007f7d405d87a8     \u003c/TASK\u003e    INFO: task syz-executor361:5697 blocked for more than 145 seconds.
