DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: fix out-of-bounds write in ocfs2_write_end_inline

KASAN reports a use-after-free write of 4086 bytes in ocfs2_write_end_inline, called from ocfs2_write_end_nolock during a copy_file_range splice fallback on a corrupted ocfs2 filesystem mounted on a loop device. The actual bug is an out-of-bounds write past the inode block buffer, not a true use-after-free. The write overflows into an adjacent freed page, which KASAN reports as UAF.

The root cause is that ocfs2_try_to_write_inline_data trusts the on-disk id_count field to determine whether a write fits in inline data. On a corrupted filesystem, id_count can exceed the physical maximum inline data capacity, causing writes to overflow the inode block buffer.

Call trace (crash path):

vfs_copy_file_range (fs/read_write.c:1634) do_splice_direct splice_direct_to_actor iter_file_splice_write ocfs2_file_write_iter generic_perform_write ocfs2_write_end ocfs2_write_end_nolock (fs/ocfs2/aops.c:1949) ocfs2_write_end_inline (fs/ocfs2/aops.c:1915) memcpy_from_folio <-- KASAN: write OOB

So add id_count upper bound check in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to alongside the existing i_size check to fix it.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel's ocfs2 filesystem driver allows local attackers with low privileges to achieve arbitrary code execution or system crash via a corrupted ocfs2 filesystem image. Exploitation occurs during copy_file_range operations when the malicious id_count field in the inode block exceeds physical inline data capacity, causing a buffer overflow past the inode block buffer. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running vulnerable ocfs2 kernel versions (prior to 6.6.136, 6.12.83, 6.18.24, 6.19.14, or 7.0) using kernel version inventory tools. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patches to kernel versions 6.6.136, 6.12.83, 6.18.24, 6.19.14, or 7.0 (whichever branch your environment uses) and schedule coordinated reboots during maintenance windows. …
