Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: fix potential buffer overflow in closefs()
|
||
|
References: bsc#918346 CVE-2015-1572
|
||
|
|
||
|
The bug fix in f66e6ce4446: "libext2fs: avoid buffer overflow if
|
||
|
s_first_meta_bg is too big" had a typo in the fix for
|
||
|
ext2fs_closefs(). In practice most of the security exposure was from
|
||
|
the openfs path, since this meant if there was a carefully crafted
|
||
|
file system, buffer overrun would be triggered when the file system was
|
||
|
opened.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, if corrupted file system didn't trip over some corruption
|
||
|
check, and then the file system was modified via tune2fs or debugfs,
|
||
|
such that the superblock was marked dirty and then written out via the
|
||
|
closefs() path, it's possible that the buffer overrun could be
|
||
|
triggered when the file system is closed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also clear up a signed vs unsigned warning while we're at it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Thanks to Nick Kralevich <nnk@google.com> for asking me to look at
|
||
|
compiler warning in the code in question, which led me to notice the
|
||
|
bug in f66e6ce4446.
