A store through the mapping can race with this zeroing and be\noverwritten.\n\nFix this by zeroing the gap lazily. Drop ->map_pages so that every first\nwrite fault goes through exfat_page_mkwrite(), which advances valid_size to\ncover the faulting page. With fault-around enabled, a store could install a\nwritable PTE, skip ->page_mkwrite(), and land past valid_size without\nadvancing it. Extending valid_size one faulting page at a time also leaves\nnever-written pages in a large mapping alone.\n\nThe gap is filled with block granularity, zeroing only the not-uptodate\nblocks and preserving blocks that may hold data stored through the mapping.\nOn the buffered-write path the invalidate lock is held and the gap is\nunmapped before zeroing, so a racing store re-faults and, under the inode\nlock, completes only after the gap has been zeroed and valid_size covers\nit.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1135704ed22f54873eb0498a232611d9eca30dd4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24f20986b253c3e4eb13ebe3c2007d1d352408a6"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-92487","score":0.00198,"percentile":0.09432,"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).
