CVE-2022-49174

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix ext4_mb_mark_bb() with flex_bg with fast_commit In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group. ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results into a data abort. for (i = 0; i < clen; i++) if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh->b_data) == !state) already++; This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different block group. w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform. <...> [ 74.327662] EXT4-fs error (device loop3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:1141: group 11, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 21248 vs 23294 free clusters [ 74.533214] EXT4-fs (loop3): shut down requested (2) [ 74.536705] Aborting journal on device loop3-8.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: reparar ext4_mb_mark_bb() con flex_bg con fast_commit En el caso de la característica flex_bg (que está habilitada por defecto), las extensiones para cualquier inodo dado pueden abarcar bloques de dos grupos de bloques diferentes. ext4_mb_mark_bb() solo lee el buffer_head del mapa de bits del bloque una vez para el grupo de bloques de inicio, pero no puede leerlo de nuevo cuando el límite de longitud de la extensión se desborda a otro grupo de bloques. Luego, en este bucle a continuación, accede a la memoria más allá del mapa de bits del grupo de bloques buffer_head y da como resultado una interrupción de datos. for (i = 0; i &lt; clen; i++) if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh-&gt;b_data) == !state) Already++; Este parche agrega esta funcionalidad para verificar el límite del grupo de bloques en ext4_mb_mark_bb() y actualizar el buffer_head(bitmap_bh) para cada grupo de bloques diferente. Sin este parche, pude lograr fácilmente un aborto de acceso a datos usando la plataforma Power. &lt;...&gt; [ 74.327662] Error EXT4-fs (dispositivo loop3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:1141: grupo 11, mapa de bits de bloque y descriptor de fondo inconsistentes: 21248 vs 23294 clústeres libres [ 74.533214] EXT4-fs (loop3): apagado solicitado (2) [ 74.536705] Abortando diario en dispositivo loop3-8.
