A crafted image logging a\nsmall blf_len together with a bitmap bit past the end of that buffer\ndrives the memcpy() past the buffer's allocation, corrupting adjacent\nkernel heap during mount-time log recovery. This is reachable by anyone\nwho can get a crafted image mounted -- the malicious-filesystem threat\nmodel XFS already guards against elsewhere.\n\nTurn the ASSERT() into a real XFS_IS_CORRUPT() check that aborts recovery\nof the buffer with -EFSCORRUPTED, consistent with the validate-and-fail\nidiom already used in xlog_recover_do_inode_buffer() and\nxfs_dquot_item_recover.c. xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer() therefore becomes\nSTATIC int and its three callers propagate the error.\n\nFound and confirmed with KASAN on a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=n build: the crafted\nimage trips a

mount time (mount→xfs_mountfs→xfs_log_mount→xlog_recover→xlog_do_recovery_pass pass2→xlog_recover_buf_commit_pass2→xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer); attacker data comes from a local block/loop device image, not from any network protocol handler.\nAC:L - All trigger fields (blf_len, blf_data_map bit/nbits, and logged source bytes in ri_buf) are attacker-authored on-disk log metadata; pairing a small blf_len with a bitmap region past the buffer end deterministically drives memcpy() past the xfs_buf allocation on every mount with no race or uncontrollable layout.\nPR:N - Mounting the crafted image requires no account or capability on the victim host in the malicious-filesystem threat model: an external attacker only supplies removable media or a disk image and desktop/kiosk udisks2 or systemd automount performs the privileged mount on device insertion without attacker credentials.\nUI:N - Once the crafted XFS volume is presented to the host, log recovery in xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer() runs automatically during mount (including read-only mounts) before any file access; the attacker needs no separate victim to open files, click links, or perform additional actions beyond presenting the image.\nS:U - Heap corruption occurs entirely within the mounting host kernel during log replay; impact is confined to the same kernel security authority and does not cross VM, IOMMU, or container sandbox boundaries.\nC:H - KASAN-confirmed slab-out-of-bounds write corrupts adjacent kernel heap objects; such controlled memory corruption is routinely weaponized for arbitrary kernel read primitives and pointer disclosure, not merely a crash.\nI:H - memcpy() writes attacker-controlled bytes from logged ri_buf regions to attacker-chosen offsets beyond the buffer end, giving a controllable out-of-bounds kernel heap write primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking and privilege escalation.\nA:H - The unchecked memcpy() causes slab-out-of-bounds writes during mount-time recovery (KASAN-verified on CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=n), reliably corrupting kernel heap and capable of provoking kernel oops/panic or persistent denial of service on repeated mount attempts." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
