Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: bound-check dir entries in the readdir re-validation scan
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:21:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806122133.956847-1-zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com> (raw)
When the inode version changed since the last readdir(),
ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el() re-scans the directory block from its start to
relocate the current position:
for (i = 0; i < sb->s_blocksize && i < offset; ) {
de = (struct ocfs2_dir_entry *)(bh->b_data + i);
if (le16_to_cpu(de->rec_len) < OCFS2_DIR_REC_LEN(1))
break;
i += le16_to_cpu(de->rec_len);
}
The loop dereferences de->rec_len (at byte offset 8 within the entry)
guarded only by i < sb->s_blocksize. `offset` is derived from ctx->pos,
which userspace controls via lseek() on the directory fd, so i can reach
the last bytes of the block; reading de->rec_len then reads a few bytes
past the s_blocksize-sized block buffer (an out-of-bounds read).
The main emit loop below already guards this via ocfs2_check_dir_entry(),
which rejects entries too close to the buffer end before touching de.
Apply the same lower bound to the re-validation scan so that a full
minimal directory entry is known to fit before de is dereferenced. For a
consistent directory this changes nothing: entries are at least
OCFS2_DIR_REC_LEN(1) bytes, so no valid entry starts in the excluded tail.
Found by the sashiko review tool; fix approach suggested by Joseph Qi.
