Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-416
Use After Free

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()<br />
<br />
zram_read_page() picks the sync or async backing device read path based on<br />
whether the parent bio is NULL. zram_bvec_write_partial() passes its<br />
parent bio down, so for ZRAM_WB slots the read is dispatched<br />
asynchronously and zram_read_page() returns 0 while the bio is still in<br />
flight. The caller then runs memcpy_from_bvec(), zram_write_page() and<br />
__free_page() on the buffer, leaving the async read to write into a freed<br />
page.<br />
<br />
zram_bvec_read_partial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d<br />
("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the write_partial<br />
counterpart was missed.
