{"cve":"CVE-2026-72164","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-15T06:21:34.357","modified":"2026-10-16T19:17:12.417","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nocfs2: avoid moving extents to occupied clusters\n\nFor non-auto OCFS2_IOC_MOVE_EXT operations, userspace supplies a physical\nme_goal.  ocfs2_move_extent() initializes new_phys_cpos from that goal and\nexpects ocfs2_probe_alloc_group() to replace it with a free run in the\ntarget block group.\n\nThe probe currently leaves *phys_cpos unchanged if the scan reaches the\nend of the group without finding a free run.  An occupied goal at the last\nbit can therefore survive the probe and be passed to\n__ocfs2_move_extent(), which copies file data into a cluster still owned\nby another inode before the bitmap is updated.\n\nWhen the probe does find a free run, it also subtracts move_len from the\nending bit.  The start of an N-bit run ending at i is i - N + 1, so the\ncurrent calculation can report the bit immediately before the free run.\n\nClear *phys_cpos before scanning and use the correct free-run start. \nCallers already treat a zero result as -ENOSPC, so failed probes no longer\ncontinue with an occupied caller-controlled goal.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d0c5c17b18bdbc592ac26ab4d1de7e3dbf9be1e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/19f7b04924b20b81dabbeed19d5542792ba5b6d6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22920541c35a9f23f219038ba5874c843a7c4419","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3112afebf2a76e522fbaabcbb0c47aafbdc35932","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35486b291b8fbde6c4d0b1c79e565c6260d3329d"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72164","score":0.00169,"percentile":0.06184,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
