Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to avoid out-of-bounds access in f2fs_truncate_inode_blocks() syzbot reports an UBSAN issue as below: ------------[ cut here ]------------

= 0xfffffffffffffc64 (hexadecimal, unsigned long long)
= -924 (decimal, long long) In f2fs_truncate_inode_blocks(), UBSAN detects that get_nid() tries to
access .i_nid[-924], it means both offset[0] and level should zero. The possible case should be in f2fs_do_truncate_blocks(), we try to
truncate inode size to zero, however, dn.ofs_in_node is zero and
dn.node_page is not an inode page, so it fails to truncate inode page,
and then pass zeroed free_from to f2fs_truncate_inode_blocks(), result
in this issue. if (dn.ofs_in_node || IS_INODE(dn.node_page)) { f2fs_truncate_data_blocks_range(&dn, count); free_from += count; } I guess the reason why dn.node_page is not an inode page could be: there
are multiple nat entries share the same node block address, once the node
block address was reused, f2fs_get_node_page() may load a non-inode block. Let's add a sanity check for such condition to avoid out-of-bounds access
issue.
