Subject: ocfs2: fix array out of bound access in __ocfs2_find_path()
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:21:59 -0700

__ocfs2_find_path() walks down the extent tree and records path by calling
find_path_ins(), which appends entry to path->p_node[].  It only has 5
spots.

A corrupted ocfs2 image whose extent block is pointing to itself causes
__ocfs2_find_path() descent endlessly, writing past the end of
path->p_node[] array.

 UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/ocfs2/alloc.c:677:14
 index 5 is out of range for type 'ocfs2_path_item [5]'
 Call Trace:

Commit a406aff8c051 ("ocfs2: validate l_tree_depth to avoid out-of-bounds
access") already restricts el->l_tree_depth to be less than
OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH, which is equal to 5.  However, does not handle the
infinite descent case.

Check if the el->l_tree_depth decreases on each descent.  Maximum descents
are restricted to 4 and the path->p_node[] array does not overflow.
