Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nilfs2: fix underflow in second superblock position calculations

Macro NILFS_SB2_OFFSET_BYTES, which computes the position of the second
superblock, underflows when the argument device size is less than 4096
bytes. Therefore, when using this macro, it is necessary to check in
advance that the device size is not less than a lower limit, or at least
that underflow does not occur.

The current nilfs2 implementation lacks this check, causing out-of-bound
block access when mounting devices smaller than 4096 bytes:

I/O error, dev loop0, sector 36028797018963960 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0
phys_seg 1 prio class 2
NILFS (loop0): unable to read secondary superblock (blocksize = 1024)

In addition, when trying to resize the filesystem to a size below 4096
bytes, this underflow occurs in nilfs_resize_fs(), passing a huge number
of segments to nilfs_sufile_resize(), corrupting parameters such as the
number of segments in superblocks. This causes excessive loop iterations
in nilfs_sufile_resize() during a subsequent resize ioctl, causing
semaphore ns_segctor_sem to block for a long time and hang the writer
thread:

This fixes these issues by inserting appropriate minimum device size
checks or anti-underflow checks, depending on where the macro is used.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nilfs2: corrige el desbordamiento en los cálculos de la posición del segundo superbloque. La macro NILFS_SB2_OFFSET_BYTES, que calcula la posición del segundo superbloque, sufre un desbordamiento cuando el tamaño del dispositivo del argumento es inferior a 4096 bytes. Por lo tanto, al utilizar esta macro, es necesario comprobar de antemano que el tamaño del dispositivo no sea inferior a un límite inferior, o al menos que no se produzca un desbordamiento insuficiente. La implementación actual de nilfs2 carece de esta verificación, lo que provoca un acceso a bloques fuera de los límites al montar dispositivos de menos de 4096 bytes: error de E/S, dev loop0, sector 36028797018963960 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 NILFS (loop0 ): no se puede leer el superbloque secundario (tamaño de bloque = 1024) Además, al intentar cambiar el tamaño del sistema de archivos a un tamaño inferior a 4096 bytes, este desbordamiento se produce en nilfs_resize_fs(), pasando una gran cantidad de segmentos a nilfs_sufile_resize(), corrompiendo parámetros como como el número de segmentos en supermanzanas. Esto provoca iteraciones de bucle excesivas en nilfs_sufile_resize() durante un cambio de tamaño de ioctl posterior, lo que provoca que el semáforo ns_segctor_sem se bloquee durante mucho tiempo y cuelgue el hilo de escritura: INFORMACIÓN: tarea segctord:5067 bloqueada durante más de 143 segundos.
