  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfs: Fix folio->private handling in netfs_perform_write()\n\nUnder some circumstances, netfs_perform_write() doesn't correctly\nmanipulate folio->private between NULL, NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE, pointing\nto a group and pointing to a netfs_folio struct, leading to potential\nmultiple attachments of private data with associated folio ref leaks and\nalso leaks of netfs_folio structs or netfs_group refs.\n\nFix this by consolidating the place at which a folio is marked uptodate in\none place and having that look at what's attached to folio->private and\ndecide how to clean it up and then set the new group.  Also, the content\nshouldn't be flushed if group is NULL, even if a group is specified in the\nnetfs_group parameter, as that would be the case for a new folio.  A\nfilesystem should always specify netfs_group or never specify netfs_group.\n\nThe Sashiko auto-review tool noted that it was theoretically possible that\nthe fpos >= ctx->zero_point section might leak if it modified a streaming\nwrite folio.  This is unlikely, but with a network filesystem, third party\nchanges can happen.  It also pointed out that __netfs_set_group() would\nleak if called multiple times on the same folio from the \"whole folio\nmodify section\".",
