The ocfs2 metadata validators trust the on-disk suballoc slot and bit
without checking them against the slot range of the mounted filesystem
and the capacity of the block group bitmap. A corrupted image can
carry OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT or another out-of-range slot, or a suballoc
bit beyond the bitmap, and once the corresponding inode, extent block,
xattr block, dir index root or refcount block gets freed, the bad
value goes straight into ocfs2_get_system_file_inode() or
_ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() and hits a BUG_ON() or runs off the end of
local_system_inodes[].
This series rejects such values at read time, in the existing
validators, so corrupted objects fail with -EROFS (and a read-only
remount) instead of crashing:
patch 1 restricts OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT dinodes to system inodes,
completing fe7a283b3916 ("ocfs2: add suballoc slot check in
ocfs2_validate_inode_block()"), and turns the "system file
state is ambiguous" BUG_ON() in ocfs2_read_locked_inode() into
an ocfs2_error();
patch 2 rejects oversized dinode suballoc bits;
patch 3 validates the suballoc slot and bit of xattr and dir index
blocks;
patch 4 validates the suballoc slot and bit of extent and refcount
blocks.
The checks only enforce what the kernel and mkfs.ocfs2 already write:
a valid slot from meta_ac->ac_alloc_slot and a bit within the block
group bitmap, with system inodes carrying OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT plus
OCFS2_SYSTEM_FL and extent blocks using slot 0. Nothing changes for
healthy filesystems.
Each new check was exercised under QEMU by corrupting the field in
question with an out-of-range value; with the series applied the
access fails with -EROFS and the filesystem remounts read-only instead
of hitting the BUG_ON().
Changes since v2:
- Patch 2 converts the BUG_ON() against ocfs2_bits_per_group() in
_ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() to ocfs2_error(). That bound is
derived from cl_cpg/cl_bpc of the allocator dinode, which is not
validated against the actual group capacity and can be
artificially smaller on a corrupted image, so the static
validation bound alone is not sufficient.
- Patch 2 also derives ocfs2_suballoc_bits_per_block() from
ocfs2_group_bitmap_size(). With discontig_bg enabled the
suballocator bitmap is capped at OCFS2_MAX_BG_BITMAP_SIZE (2048
bits), which the previous blocksize-based bound missed, letting a
corrupted bit in [2048, bits-per-block) slip through validation.
- Patch 3 also verifies dr_blkno against the physical block number
in ocfs2_validate_dx_root() like the extent and xattr block
validators do, so misplaced dir index root blocks are rejected.
- Patch 4 converts the remaining BUG_ON() against group->bg_bits in
_ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() to ocfs2_error(); group descriptor
validation only guarantees bg_bits within the physical bitmap
size, and otherwise ocfs2_block_group_clear_bits() could clear
bits beyond bg_bitmap.
- The suballoc bit comments in the validators are updated
accordingly.
Changes since v1:
- Patch 1 also turns the system-file-state BUG_ON() in
ocfs2_read_locked_inode() into ocfs2_error(). i_flags is on-disk
data, so a crafted dinode with OCFS2_SYSTEM_FL passes the slot
check and still hit that BUG() on a plain lookup.
- Patches 2-4 now bound the suballoc bit against the block group
bitmap capacity (block size minus the group descriptor header)
instead of the raw block size, using a new
ocfs2_suballoc_bits_per_block() helper.
- Patch 3 also validates xb_suballoc_bit and dr_suballoc_bit.
- Patch 4 also validates h_suballoc_bit, and adds rf_suballoc_slot
and rf_suballoc_bit checks in ocfs2_validate_refcount_block().

ocfs2_validate_inode_block() currently permits i_suballoc_slot to be
OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT for any dinode. Only system inodes created by
mkfs.ocfs2 are allocated from the global allocator and thus
legitimately carry this value; regular inodes are always allocated
from a per-slot suballocator and hence must have a valid slot.
If a corrupted regular inode with OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT is accepted,
ocfs2_remove_inode() will pass the slot to ocfs2_get_system_file_inode()
and get_local_system_inode() will hit BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT)
when the inode is deleted. This can be triggered by an unprivileged
user unlinking such a corrupted file.
Reject OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT for non-system dinodes during validation,
while still accepting it for system inodes. Note that a crafted dinode
carrying OCFS2_SYSTEM_FL passes the check above, yet a plain lookup of
it still used to BUG() in ocfs2_read_locked_inode() ("system file state
is ambiguous"). Since i_flags comes from disk, handle that mismatch
with ocfs2_error() instead of BUG_ON() as well.

i_suballoc_bit of a dinode is currently not validated at all. A
corrupted dinode can carry an abnormally large i_suballoc_bit, which
bypasses ocfs2_validate_inode_block(). When the inode is deleted,
ocfs2_remove_inode() calls ocfs2_free_dinode(), which passes the
unvalidated bit to _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() and triggers
BUG_ON((count + start_bit) > ocfs2_bits_per_group(cl)).
A suballocator block group bitmap is contained in a single block and
starts after the group descriptor header, so a valid suballoc bit must
be smaller than the number of bits fitting in the remaining space.
Reject oversized i_suballoc_bit values during dinode validation. The
bound is derived from ocfs2_group_bitmap_size() so it is also tight
when discontig_bg caps the suballocator bitmap at
OCFS2_MAX_BG_BITMAP_SIZE.
Note the above check alone is not sufficient since the freeing path
compares the bit against ocfs2_bits_per_group(), which is derived from
cl_cpg/cl_bpc of the allocator dinode that is not validated against
the actual group capacity and can be artificially smaller on a
corrupted image. Convert this BUG_ON in _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits()
to ocfs2_error() as well.

Furthermore ocfs2_validate_dx_root() does not verify dr_blkno against

ocfs2_validate_extent_block() and ocfs2_validate_refcount_block() do
not validate h_suballoc_slot, h_suballoc_bit, rf_suballoc_slot and
rf_suballoc_bit at all. Since extent blocks and refcount blocks are
allocated from a per-slot suballocator at runtime, their suballoc
slots must be within range and their suballoc bits must fit in a block
group bitmap.
Otherwise a corrupted image can carry an out-of-range slot. When the
extent block is freed, ocfs2_cache_extent_block_free() caches it and
ocfs2_free_cached_blocks() later passes the unvalidated slot to
ocfs2_get_system_file_inode(); when the refcount block is freed,
ocfs2_remove_refcount_extent() passes it via ocfs2_cache_block_dealloc().
get_local_system_inode() will then either hit
BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT) or compute an out-of-bounds index
into the local_system_inodes array. Similarly an oversized suballoc
bit will error out the filesystem in _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits().
Furthermore group descriptor validation only guarantees bg_bits within
the physical bitmap size, so a corrupted image can still carry a
suballoc bit beyond bg_bits, which would let
ocfs2_block_group_clear_bits() clear bits beyond bg_bitmap. Convert
the remaining BUG_ON against group->bg_bits in
_ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() to ocfs2_error() as well.
Reject out-of-range suballoc slots and oversized suballoc bits during
validation.
