Subject: [OE-core][PATCH v4 6/8] cve-exclusions: set status for CVE-2023-3397
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 23:21:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824042123.1456876-7-junjie.cao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824042123.1456876-1-junjie.cao@linux.dev>

txEnd() in fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c reads the log pointer from the
superblock info, drops TXN_LOCK and then takes log->gclock, while
lmLogClose() can free that log during umount.

No fix has been merged. The 2023 proposal was withdrawn by its author
("I think my fix method is not a good solution"), and proposals in 2026
for similar jfs slab use-after-free races are unreviewed:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260603171620.2532527-1-jie.wang@intel.com/

A similar use-after-free was reported against 7.0-rc1 in June 2026,
with the free stack in lmLogClose() via jfs_umount(), and syzbot has
an open slab use-after-free write in lmLogSync(); the txEnd() sequence
is unchanged in linux-next 20260727:

v4:
- describe the 2026 proposals and reports as similar races rather than
  the same one; drop the kernel-cache configuration paragraph; use the
  review's comment and status wording
- name the open syzbot bug as the lmLogSync write rather than the
  txEnd write
