CVE-2022-49348

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: filter out EXT4_FC_REPLAY from on-disk superblock field s_state The EXT4_FC_REPLAY bit in sbi->s_mount_state is used to indicate that we are in the middle of replay the fast commit journal. This was actually a mistake, since the sbi->s_mount_info is initialized from es->s_state. Arguably s_mount_state is misleadingly named, but the name is historical --- s_mount_state and s_state dates back to ext2. What should have been used is the ext4_{set,clear,test}_mount_flag() inline functions, which sets EXT4_MF_* bits in sbi->s_mount_flags. The problem with using EXT4_FC_REPLAY is that a maliciously corrupted superblock could result in EXT4_FC_REPLAY getting set in s_mount_state. This bypasses some sanity checks, and this can trigger a BUG() in ext4_es_cache_extent(). As a easy-to-backport-fix, filter out the EXT4_FC_REPLAY bit for now. We should eventually transition away from EXT4_FC_REPLAY to something like EXT4_MF_REPLAY.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ext4: filtrar EXT4_FC_REPLAY del campo s_state del superbloque en disco El bit EXT4_FC_REPLAY en sbi->s_mount_state se usa para indicar que estamos en medio de la reproducción del diario de confirmación rápida. En realidad, esto fue un error, ya que sbi->s_mount_info se inicializa desde es->s_state. Podría decirse que s_mount_state tiene un nombre engañoso, pero el nombre es histórico --- s_mount_state y s_state se remontan a ext2. Lo que se debería haber usado son las funciones en línea ext4_{set,clear,test}_mount_flag(), que establecen los bits EXT4_MF_* en sbi->s_mount_flags. El problema con el uso de EXT4_FC_REPLAY es que un superbloque dañado maliciosamente podría provocar que EXT4_FC_REPLAY se establezca en s_mount_state. Esto evita algunas comprobaciones de cordura y puede desencadenar un error en ext4_es_cache_extent(). Como solución fácil de implementar, filtre el bit EXT4_FC_REPLAY por ahora. Deberíamos dejar de usar EXT4_FC_REPLAY para pasar a algo como EXT4_MF_REPLAY.
