From 03eaa7470b473b98aacb14dee2d9e9d296307c78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2016 20:01:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: validate s_reserved_gdt_blocks on mount commit 5b9554dc5bf008ae7f68a52e3d7e76c0920938a2 upstream. If s_reserved_gdt_blocks is extremely large, it's possible for ext4_init_block_bitmap(), which is called when ext4 sets up an uninitialized block bitmap, to corrupt random kernel memory. Add the same checks which e2fsck has --- it must never be larger than blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in ext4_init_block_bitmap() in case the superblock gets modified after the file system is mounted. Reported-by: Vegard Nossum Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Drop the second check in ext4_init_block_bitmap() since it can't return an error code - Adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
