Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] hfs: refuse catalog records that address the reserved B-tree CNIDs
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 15:44:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_5E46DC9CA04DCFA2DE7C8AA3C8532FBE1709@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012154438.6396-1-yangguikun19@qq.com>
The extent and catalog B-tree inodes are described by the MDB, not by
catalog records, but they are hashed by CNID like any other inode and
hfs_test_inode() compares i_ino only. A crafted image with a catalog
record whose FlNum (or DirID) is HFS_EXT_CNID or HFS_CAT_CNID therefore
makes hfs_lookup() hand out the internal B-tree inode as a regular dentry,
bypassing the CNID validation that hfs_read_inode() performs: a read
exposes the B-tree file's contents, and a write would go through
hfs_write_inode(), which tries to update a catalog record that does not
exist.
Refuse such records in hfs_iget() by returning NULL for the reserved
B-tree CNIDs. hfs_lookup() reports that as -EACCES and
hfs_fill_super() as a mount failure, the same as for any other
unaddressable record.
This is hardening on top of the file-type fix, not required for the
panic; it can be dropped if hfs_is_valid_cnid()'s acceptance of
HFS_CDR_FIL records for CNID 3/4 is intentional.
