ALSA-2025:19932 (CVE-2022-50367)
Vulnerability from osv_almalinux – Published: 2025-11-10 00:00 – Updated: 2025-11-11 12:37 – Source websiteThe kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
- kernel: x86/vmscape: Add conditional IBPB mitigation (CVE-2025-40300)
- kernel: mm: fix zswap writeback race condition (CVE-2023-53178)
- kernel: fs: fix UAF/GPF bug in nilfs_mdt_destroy (CVE-2022-50367)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm: fix zswap writeback race condition\n\nThe zswap writeback mechanism can cause a race condition resulting in\nmemory corruption, where a swapped out page gets swapped in with data that\nwas written to a different page.\n\nThe race unfolds like this:\n1. a page with data A and swap offset X is stored in zswap\n2. page A is removed off the LRU by zpool driver for writeback in\n zswap-shrink work, data for A is mapped by zpool driver\n3. user space program faults and invalidates page entry A, offset X is\n considered free\n4. kswapd stores page B at offset X in zswap (zswap could also be\n full, if so, page B would then be IOed to X, then skip step 5.)\n5. entry A is replaced by B in tree-\u003erbroot, this doesn\u0027t affect the\n local reference held by zswap-shrink work\n6. zswap-shrink work writes back A at X, and frees zswap entry A\n7. swapin of slot X brings A in memory instead of B\n\nThe fix:\nOnce the swap page cache has been allocated (case ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NEW),\nzswap-shrink work just checks that the local zswap_entry reference is\nstill the same as the one in the tree. If it\u0027s not the same it means that\nit\u0027s either been invalidated or replaced, in both cases the writeback is\naborted because the local entry contains stale data.\n\nReproducer:\nI originally found this by running `stress` overnight to validate my work\non the zswap writeback mechanism, it manifested after hours on my test\nmachine. The key to make it happen is having zswap writebacks, so\nwhatever setup pumps /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/written_back_pages should do\nthe trick.\n\nIn order to reproduce this faster on a vm, I setup a system with ~100M of\navailable memory and a 500M swap file, then running `stress --vm 1\n--vm-bytes 300000000 --vm-stride 4000` makes it happen in matter of tens\nof minutes. One can speed things up even more by swinging\n/sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent up and down between, say, 20\nand 1; this makes it reproduce in tens of seconds. It\u0027s crucial to set\n`--vm-stride` to something other than 4096 otherwise `stress` won\u0027t\nrealize that memory has been corrupted because all pages would have the\nsame data."

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nx86/vmscape: Add conditional IBPB mitigation\n\nVMSCAPE is a vulnerability that exploits insufficient branch predictor\nisolation between a guest and a userspace hypervisor (like QEMU). Existing\nmitigations already protect kernel/KVM from a malicious guest. Userspace\ncan additionally be protected by flushing the branch predictors after a\nVMexit.\n\nSince it is the userspace that consumes the poisoned branch predictors,\nconditionally issue an IBPB after a VMexit and before returning to\nuserspace. Workloads that frequently switch between hypervisor and\nuserspace will incur the most overhead from the new IBPB.\n\nThis new IBPB is not integrated with the existing IBPB sites. For\ninstance, a task can use the existing speculation control prctl() to\nget an IBPB at context switch time. With this implementation, the\nIBPB is doubled up: one at context switch and another before running\nuserspace.\n\nThe intent is to integrate and optimize these cases post-embargo.\n\n[ dhansen: elaborate on suboptimal IBPB solution ]"
