CVE-2018-13095

Se ha descubierto un problema en fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.17.3. Puede ocurrir una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y BUG) para una imagen xfs corrupta después de encontrarse con un inode con formato extendido, pero tiene más extensiones que cabrían en el fork inode.

An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel. A denial of service due to the NULL pointer dereference can occur for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork.

Wen Xu discovered that the xfs file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the number of extents in an inode. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the priority inheritance futex implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
