{"cve":"CVE-2026-72367","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-15T06:22:10.117","modified":"2026-10-21T13:19:36.047","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niomap: guard io_size EOF trim against concurrent truncate underflow\n\niomap: fix zero padding data issue in concurrent append writes\nchanged ioend accounting so that io_size tracks only valid data\nwithin EOF.  This trims io_size when a writeback range extends\npast end_pos:\n\n    ioend->io_size += map_len;\n    if (ioend->io_offset + ioend->io_size > end_pos)\n        ioend->io_size = end_pos - ioend->io_offset;\n\nHowever, if end_pos ends up below ioend->io_offset, the subtraction\nbecomes negative and is stored in size_t io_size, causing an unsigned\nwrap to a huge value.  This can happen when writeback continues past\nbyte-level EOF up to a block-aligned range, or when a concurrent\ntruncate shrinks the file after end_pos was sampled in\niomap_writeback_handle_eof().\n\nA wrapped io_size can mislead append detection and corrupt\ncompletion-time size handling, since filesystem end_io paths consume\nio_size for decisions such as on-disk EOF updates and unwritten/COW\ncompletion ranges.\n\nFix this by clamping io_size to zero when EOF has moved to or before\nthe ioend start offset.  This preserves the original intent of trimming\nio_size to valid in-EOF data while avoiding the underflow.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f38f65bf965fce9aa159d45c5347538f56c5973","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/55ec50d046c03b3724741957f7b007856e36dbe7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7f7780abb4c0fdc9a2603aea8e985ff14ee900e0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc1d6af0bee27d6595908b497424f338161299fc"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72367","score":0.00601,"percentile":0.48449,"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).
