CVE-2026-31463

/// Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iomap: fix invalid folio access when i_blkbits differs from I/O granularity

Commit aa35dd5cbc06 ("iomap: fix invalid folio access after

folio_end_read()") partially addressed invalid folio access for folios

without an ifs attached, but it did not handle the case where

1 << inode->i_blkbits matches the folio size but is different from the

granularity used for the IO, which means IO can be submitted for less

than the full folio for the !ifs case.

In this case, the condition:

if (*bytes_submitted == folio_len)

ctx->cur_folio = NULL;

in iomap_read_folio_iter() will not invalidate ctx->cur_folio, and

iomap_read_end() will still be called on the folio even though the IO

helper owns it and will finish the read on it.

Fix this by unconditionally invalidating ctx->cur_folio for the !ifs

case.

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
