CVE-2026-97547CVE-2026-97547
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix exchange-range reflink flag clearing issue with INO1_WRITTEN
When exchanging two full-file ranges, xmi_can_exchange_reflink_flags()
can move the reflink inode flag from the file that currently has it to
the other file, as long as exactly one side is marked. This assumes
that the file contents, and therefore all shared extents, are exchanged.
That assumption is not true when XFS_EXCHMAPS_INO1_WRITTEN is set.
xfs_exchmaps_can_skip_mapping() can skip hole and unwritten mappings
from file1, so an exchange can complete without moving every mapping
that the earlier flag-swap decision accounted for. In that case the
post-operation cleanup can clear the reflink flag from an inode that
still owns shared written extents. Later writes then take the
non-reflink write path and may update blocks that should still have
been protected by CoW, which shows up as data corruption between
reflink-related files.
