Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] qnx6: validate di_filelevels in qnx6_iget() before accessing level pointers
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 03:15:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930031604.70544-2-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924073920.2782917-1-benquike@gmail.com>
In qnx6_iget(), raw_inode->di_filelevels is read from disk without upper
bounds checking. If raw_inode->di_filelevels exceeds QNX6_PTR_MAX_LEVELS
(defined as 5 in include/linux/qnx6_fs.h), qnx6_block_map() performs
out-of-bounds reads past di_block_ptr when dereferencing indirect tree
levels.
Validate raw_inode->di_filelevels against QNX6_PTR_MAX_LEVELS in
qnx6_iget() and return -EIO if it exceeds 5.
Tested in QEMU against tip of mainline commit 62f4c998b297 ("Merge tag 'parisc-for-7.3-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux")
using a loop-device reproducer mounting a crafted QNX6 image with
di_filelevels = 20: on the unfixed kernel, mounting triggered a
buffer_head refcount underflow warning ("VFS: brelse: Trying to free
free buffer"); whereas with this fix applied, qnx6_iget() cleanly rejects
the corrupted inode with -EIO and logs "qnx6: bad filelevels 20 (max 5) on
dev loop0, inode 1".
Fixes: 5d026c724220 ("fs: initial qnx6fs addition")

Changes in v4:
- Rebased cleanly onto upstream mainline commit 62f4c998b297.
- Added QEMU test procedure and verification details in commit message body.
- Updated commit description to state QNX6_PTR_MAX_LEVELS is 5 as noted
by Matthias Goergens.
