Remedy

This issue can be mitigated by ensuring xfs_alloc_file_space is not called with "0" as an argument. This can be done with a SystemTap script (which resets "0" with XFS_BMAPI_PREALLOC), below are the steps: 1) Save the following script in a 'CVE-2021-4155.stp' file --- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 --- probe module("xfs").function("xfs_alloc_file_space") { if ($alloc_type == 0) $alloc_type = 0x40;# XFS_BMAPI_PREALLOC } --- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 --- --- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 onwards --- probe module("xfs").function("xfs_alloc_file_space") { if ($alloc_type == 0) $alloc_type = 0x8;# XFS_BMAPI_PREALLOC } --- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 onwards --- 2) Install systemtap package and its dependencies # yum install -y systemtap systemtap-runtime # yum install -y kernel-devel kernel-debuginfo 3) Build the mitigation kernel module as root. # stap -r `uname -r` -m cve_2021_4155.ko -g CVE-2021-4155.stp -p4 4) Load the mitigation module as root # staprun -L cve_2021_4155.ko What is SystemTap and how to use it? https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5441
