Delivery is a locally mounted OCFS2 image (loop or other block device).\nAC:L - A crafted dinode with OCFS2_ORPHANED_FL and an attacker-chosen i_orphaned_slot is accepted before the fix. ocfs2_fill_super() calls ocfs2_complete_mount_recovery(), which queues ocfs2_recover_orphans(); that igets the orphan and iputs it into ocfs2_evict_inode()→ocfs2_wipe_inode() with no race.\nPR:N - ocfs2_fs_type.fs_flags has no FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so only a privileged mount(2) via ocfs2_get_tree()/ocfs2_fill_super() reaches recovery. The attacker who supplies the image needs no host credentials; unlink cannot plant this value because ocfs2_orphan_add() writes osb->slot_num.\nUI:R - The bug fires from ocfs2_complete_recovery()→ocfs2_recover_orphans() after the victim mounts the crafted volume through ocfs2_fill_super(). That mount is the required user action and cannot be treated as a standing export of already-on-disk metadata.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds accesses in ocfs2_check_orphan_recovery_state() and get_local_system_inode() corrupt memory in the kernel that mounted the OCFS2 volume. No KVM, Xen, or IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - get_local_system_inode() computes index = i_orphaned_slot * NUM_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODES and reads an 8-byte inode pointer past the kcalloc'd local_system_inodes array (KASAN UAF read in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode). A non-NULL value is passed to igrab(), disclosing adjacent slab contents.\nI:H - ocfs2_check_orphan_recovery_state() does osb->osb_orphan_wipes[slot]++ with the untrusted i_orphaned_slot against a kcalloc(max_slots) array (max_slots ≤ 255), a heap out-of-bounds increment. The OOB pointer is then used as an inode in inode_lock/ocfs2_inode_lock.\nA:H - ocfs2_node_map_test_bit() BUG()s when i_orphaned_slot >= OCFS2_NODE_MAP_MAX_NODES (256). Smaller out-of-range slots still OOB-index osb_orphan_wipes[] and local_system_inodes[], which KASAN reported as slab-use-after-free during ocfs2_recover_orphans() in ocfs2_complete_recovery()." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/ocfs2/inode.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "b4df6ed8db0c387d38292e31f00adc4cd297ed5a", "lessThan": "f535a34831f8325950933b401c76bfa99624419c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b4df6ed8db0c387d38292e31f00adc4cd297ed5a", "lessThan": "dea50e8049b0db2eb3d468e2505034962e81d8cd", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b4df6ed8db0c387d38292e31f00adc4cd297ed5a", "lessThan": "c6c908f9b4edfb04534b15573168ae038f7a9cbf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b4df6ed8db0c387d38292e31f00adc4cd297ed5a", "lessThan": "3d7c4b7ce7b4baedfd8699fa692cd95f77d332de", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b4df6ed8db0c387d38292e31f00adc4cd297ed5a", "lessThan": "b2d31acbd3b182755b019183fb46949ba5e39b9f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/ocfs2/inode.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.16", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.16", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.114", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.52", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f535a34831f8325950933b401c76bfa99624419c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dea50e8049b0db2eb3d468e2505034962e81d8cd" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c6c908f9b4edfb04534b15573168ae038f7a9cbf" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d7c4b7ce7b4baedfd8699fa692cd95f77d332de" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b2d31acbd3b182755b019183fb46949ba5e39b9f" } ], "title": "ocfs2: validate orphan slot during inode read", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
