Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] xfs: fix NULL deref in log recovery reorder
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 09:19:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702162000.3548359-1-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
A crafted on-disk log can commit a transaction whose only item is a bare
transaction header (ri_cnt == 0, ri_buf == NULL).
xlog_recover_reorder_trans() then runs ITEM_TYPE() on it and dereferences
the NULL ri_buf, faulting the kernel at mount time.
v3:
- patches 1 and 2: picked up the Reviewed-by tags, plus the
s/encountered/encounter/ fix in patch 2 that Darrick noted
- patch 3: reworked the changelog per Darrick and Christoph. The empty
item comes from the len == sizeof(xfs_trans_header) path; the check can
only run at commit time because a split header may still get regions
from later ops; and the runtime commit path never emits this, so it is
only reachable on a crafted log. It came from an AI-assisted code
audit of the parser. Added Cc: stable # v4.3.
Tested on xfs-7.2-fixes with KASAN: the unpatched kernel oopses in
xlog_recover_reorder_trans; the patched kernel fails the mount with
-EFSCORRUPTED and no splat.
Weiming Shi (3):
xfs: drop ASSERT(0) on unrecognized log item type
xfs: splice unsorted log items back to the transaction after the loop
xfs: fail recovery on a committed log item with no regions
