Subject: [PATCH v2] ocfs2: validate the block count of a local quota file
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 10:46:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020024651.3217554-1-r772577952@gmail.com> (raw)

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.  dqi_blocks is not checked
against the file size either, and a dqi_blocks past the end of the file
can make the kernel write the new block of the file to block 0 of the
device.

The stray bit 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.  The second case overwrites block 0 of the device.
Triggering either issue requires mounting a crafted image with quotas
enabled, which needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and creating a file.  The first
issue was found by fuzzing and has not been 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.  Also check that dqi_blocks does not exceed
the file size.  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().

Changes in v2:
- Reject a dqi_blocks larger than the file size.  Suggested by the
  Sashiko review of v1.
- Print i_size in the error message.
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20261019154732.3149351-1-r772577952@gmail.com/
