get_symlink_chunk() and the SL handling in parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() walk the variable-length components of a Rock Ridge "SL" (symbolic link) record. Each component is a two-byte header (flags, len) followed by len bytes of text, so it occupies slp->len + 2 bytes. Both loops read slp->len and advance to the next component, and get_symlink_chunk() additionally does memcpy(rpnt, slp->text, slp->len), but neither checks that the component lies within the SL record before dereferencing it. A crafted SL record whose component declares a len that runs past the record (rr->len) therefore triggers an out-of-bounds read of up to 255 bytes. When the record sits at the tail of its backing buffer - for example a small kmalloc()ed continuation block reached through a CE record - the read crosses the allocation; get_symlink_chunk() then copies the out-of-bounds bytes into the symlink body returned to user space by readlink(), disclosing adjacent kernel memory. ISO 9660 images are routinely mounted from untrusted removable media - desktop environments auto-mount them (e.g. via udisks2) without CAP_SYS_ADMIN - so the record contents are attacker-controlled. Reject any component that does not fit in the remaining record bytes before using it, in both walk sites. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Bryam Vargas --- Reproducer (crafted ISO-9660 image with Rock Ridge): # a symlink whose SL component length byte is enlarged so the # component overruns its SL record ln -s "$(python3 -c 'print("A"*250)')" /tmp/iso/l genisoimage -R -o rr.iso /tmp/iso # repoint the symlink's CE record to a tight continuation block # (cont_size = 7) holding one SL record: # 53 4c 07 01 00 00 ff "SL", len 7, ver 1, comp flags 0, comp len 0xff # so rock_continue() does kmalloc(7) and the component text begins at # the end of that allocation. mount -o loop,ro rr.iso /mnt readlink /mnt/l Without the patch, get_symlink_chunk() memcpy()s slp->len (0xff) bytes starting one byte into the 7-byte allocation, so readlink() returns the symlink target followed by adjacent in-kernel bytes (verified: the returned link contains neighbouring directory-record / slab contents, not just the target). On a tight continuation allocation the read leaves the object and is a slab-out-of-bounds read that KASAN reports in get_symlink_chunk(). With the patch the over-long component is rejected (slp->len + 2 > slen) and readlink() returns only the valid prefix; a well-formed Rock Ridge image is unaffected. fs/isofs/rock.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/isofs/rock.c b/fs/isofs/rock.c index 1232fab59a4e..0fe781381e66 100644 --- a/fs/isofs/rock.c +++ b/fs/isofs/rock.c @@ -466,6 +466,9 @@ parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal(struct iso_directory_record *de, inode->i_size = symlink_len; while (slen > 1) { rootflag = 0; + /* keep the component within the SL record */ + if (slp->len + 2 > slen) + break; switch (slp->flags & ~1) { case 0: inode->i_size += @@ -621,6 +624,14 @@ static char *get_symlink_chunk(char *rpnt, struct rock_ridge *rr, char *plimit) slp = &rr->u.SL.link; while (slen > 1) { rootflag = 0; + /* + * A component is a two-byte header (flags, len) followed by + * len bytes of text, i.e. slp->len + 2 bytes.
