Subject: [PATCH] udf: validate partition reference before freeing blocks
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 14:36:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611213635.17198-1-kylebot@openai.com> (raw)
UDF long allocation descriptors can carry an on-disk
partitionReferenceNum. The truncate/free path passes that value to
udf_free_blocks(), which indexes s_partmaps[partition] before checking
that partition is smaller than s_partitions.
A crafted writable image with one partition and a long allocation
descriptor that references partition 1 can therefore make
udf_free_blocks() read past the allocated partition map array when
truncating the file.
Validate the partition reference before forming the map pointer. Also
compare the checked end block, including the caller-supplied offset,
against the partition length; the previous test computed blk but then
compared logicalBlockNum + count.
