Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
Integer Overflow in Linux Kernel iomap_write_delalloc_scan on 32-bit Systems

Publication date: 2025-12-30

Last updated on: 2026-02-26

Assigner: kernel.org

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iomap: Fix possible overflow condition in iomap_write_delalloc_scan folio_next_index() returns an unsigned long value which left shifted by PAGE_SHIFT could possibly cause an overflow on 32-bit system. Instead use folio_pos(folio) + folio_size(folio), which does this correctly.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a possible overflow condition in the Linux kernel's iomap_write_delalloc_scan function. It occurs because folio_next_index() returns an unsigned long value that, when left shifted by PAGE_SHIFT on a 32-bit system, could cause an overflow. The fix involves using folio_pos(folio) + folio_size(folio) instead, which correctly handles the calculation without overflow.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability could potentially lead to incorrect memory handling or data corruption due to the overflow condition in the kernel's iomap_write_delalloc_scan function on 32-bit systems. This might affect system stability or security, but specific impacts are not detailed in the provided information.
