Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: validate inline directory i_size during inode read
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
When reading an inode from disk, ocfs2_validate_inode_block() performs
various sanity checks but does not validate the size of inline
directories. If the filesystem is corrupted, an inline directory'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 inline directories have i_size <= id_count. This catches the
corruption early during inode read and prevents all downstream code
from operating on invalid data.
