Once unlock_buffer() unlocks and\nwait_on_buffer() returns to continue processing, the stack variable\nis likely to be reclaimed. Consequently, during the end_buffer_read_sync()\nprocess, calling put_bh() may result in stack overrun.\n\nIf the bh is not allocated on the stack, it belongs to a folio. Freeing\na buffer head which belongs to a folio is done by drop_buffers() which\nwill fail to free buffers which are still locked. So it is safe to call\nput_bh() before __end_buffer_read_notouch().","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-09-05T17:20:57.247+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T22:02:30.511+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"fs/buffer.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"70a09115da586bf662c3bae9c0c4a1b99251fad9\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"3169edb8945c295cf89120fc6b2c35cfe3ad4c9e\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"03b40bf5d0389ca23ae6857ee25789f0e0b47ce8\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"c58c6b532b7b69537cfd9ef701c7e37cdcf79dc4\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"c5aa6ba1127307ab5dc3773eaf40d73a3423841f\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"042cf48ecf67f72c8b3846c7fac678f472712ff3\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"90b5193edb323fefbee0e4e5bc39ed89dcc37719\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"7375f22495e7cd1c5b3b5af9dcc4f6dffe34ce49\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"fs/buffer.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"2.6.12\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2.6.12\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.4.297\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.4.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.10.241\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.10.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.15.190\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.149\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.103\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.44\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.16.4\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.16.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.17\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/70a09115da586bf662c3bae9c0c4a1b99251fad9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3169edb8945c295cf89120fc6b2c35cfe3ad4c9e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/03b40bf5d0389ca23ae6857ee25789f0e0b47ce8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c58c6b532b7b69537cfd9ef701c7e37cdcf79dc4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c5aa6ba1127307ab5dc3773eaf40d73a3423841f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/042cf48ecf67f72c8b3846c7fac678f472712ff3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90b5193edb323fefbee0e4e5bc39ed89dcc37719","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7375f22495e7cd1c5b3b5af9dcc4f6dffe34ce49"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-39691","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2025-39691","identifiers":["CVE-2025-39691"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
