Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: validate the block count of a local quota file
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:47:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019154732.3149351-1-r772577952@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CANypQFbjcxXjiigMCCyErN=DSEh3ZG3NMWRpq=Hic8KJ76cwew@mail.gmail.com>
Every ocfs2 node keeps a local quota file made of chunks. A chunk is a
header block, whose bitmap marks the entries in use, followed by up to
ol_chunk_blocks() blocks of entries, and only the last chunk may be
partly filled. The file header records the number of chunks in
dqi_chunks and the number of blocks in dqi_blocks. When no chunk has a
free entry, ocfs2_extend_local_quota_file() works out from dqi_blocks
how many entry blocks the last chunk already has, and puts the new entry
right after them:
chunk_blocks = oinfo->dqi_blocks - ol_quota_chunk_block(sb,
chunk->qc_num) - 1; ... *offset = chunk_blocks * epb;
olq_alloc_dquot() then sets that bit in the chunk's bitmap, which fits
in a single block. This is only safe while chunk_blocks is at most
ol_chunk_blocks().
ocfs2_local_read_info() reads dqi_chunks and dqi_blocks from disk at
mount time and never checks that they agree. With one chunk and a
dqi_blocks of a few thousand, the last chunk appears to hold thousands
of entry blocks, and the bit lands kilobytes past the end of the bitmap.
A dqi_blocks below the last chunk's header block makes chunk_blocks, an
unsigned int, wrap around to the same effect.
The stray write corrupts unrelated kernel memory. KASAN calls it a
use-after-free only because the page it hits happens to be free; nothing
in ocfs2 was freed. Reaching it takes mounting a crafted image with
quotas enabled, which needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and creating a file. The
issue was found by fuzzing and not seen in production, the reproducer
can be found in the linked report.
Check in ocfs2_local_read_info() that the last chunk has its header
block and at most ol_chunk_blocks() entry blocks, and that a file
without chunks holds only its info block, since the first new chunk is
placed at block dqi_blocks. Refuse the file with ocfs2_error()
otherwise, as ocfs2_read_quota_block() does for a corrupted quota file.
The header block of the last chunk is computed in 64 bits because a
crafted dqi_chunks can wrap ol_quota_chunk_block().
