[PATCH v3] ocfs2: validate inline data i_size during inode read
Posted by Deepanshu Kartikey 1 day, 20 hours ago 
When reading an inode from disk, ocfs2_validate_inode_block() performs
various sanity checks but does not validate the size of inline data.
If the filesystem is corrupted, an inode's i_size can exceed the actual
inline data capacity (id_count).

This causes ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_id() to iterate beyond the inline
data buffer, triggering a use-after-free when accessing directory
entries from freed memory.

In the syzbot report:
  - i_size was 1099511627576 bytes (~1TB)
  - Actual inline data capacity (id_count) is typically <256 bytes
  - A garbage rec_len (54648) caused ctx->pos to jump out of bounds
  - This triggered a UAF in ocfs2_check_dir_entry()

Fix by adding a validation check in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to
ensure inodes with inline data have i_size <= id_count. This catches
the corruption early during inode read and prevents all downstream
code from operating on invalid data.

v3:
  - Folded new check into existing OCFS2_INLINE_DATA_FL block (Joseph Qi)

v2:
  - Removed unnecessary S_ISDIR() check since OCFS2_INLINE_DATA_FL
    applies to both directories and regular files (Heming Zhao)
  - Fixed checkpatch.pl warnings
