CVE-2026-93140

Summary

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

udf: Mark LVID buffer as uptodate before marking it dirty

When an I/O error occurs while writing the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor (LVID) buffer to the block device, the block layer's completion handler (end_buffer_write_sync()) clears the BH_Uptodate flag on the buffer. However, the buffer still contains valid LVID data in memory. If the filesystem is subsequently remounted read-write or synced, udf_open_lvid() or udf_sync_fs() will modify the LVID buffer and call mark_buffer_dirty(). This triggers a spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate(bh)) warning in mark_buffer_dirty() because the buffer is not marked uptodate, even though its in-memory contents are valid and are about to be overwritten.

To prevent this spurious warning, unconditionally set the BH_Uptodate flag before calling mark_buffer_dirty() in udf_open_lvid() and udf_sync_fs(). This acknowledges that the in-memory buffer is valid and matches the workaround previously applied to udf_close_lvid() in commit 853a0c25baf9 ("udf: Mark LVID buffer as uptodate before marking it dirty"). Extending this workaround ensures consistent behavior across all LVID updates.
