Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ubifs: check node hash calculation errors
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 20:14:20 +0800 (CST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202611022014201140sh13oFtWkIgBr7UQKyMK@zte.com.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102195030814Aeehrb4WmExc085745ldN@zte.com.cn>
ubifs_node_calc_hash() can fail when authentication is enabled and the
crypto operation fails. Five calls ignore the return value and use the
uninitialized stack buffer as the node hash: replay_bud() stores it in
the replay entry, make_idx_node() and write_index() copy it into the
parent branch or the index root, and create_default_filesystem() copies
it into an index branch and into the master node. Verifying those nodes
later then fails with a hash mismatch.
Propagate the error from all five call sites.
Fixes: 16a26b20d2af ("ubifs: authentication: Add hashes to index nodes")
Fixes: 104115a3eb54 ("ubifs: Add hashes and HMACs to default filesystem")
