Subject: [PATCH 09/16] fuse2fs: fix memory corruption when parsing mount options
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 08:42:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <176062915628.3343688.6702643409617373122.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <176062915393.3343688.9810444125172113159.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

struct fuse_opt has this interesting behavior -- if you set the offset
field to a non-negative value, then it will treat that value as a byte
offset into the data parameter that is passed to fuse_opt_parse.

Unfortnately, process_opt computes a pointer from ((char *)data +
offset), casts that to an int pointer(!), and dereferences the int
pointer to set the value.  Therefore, we cannot have uint8_t fields in
struct fuse2fs because that will lead to subtle memory corruption.

Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> # v1.47.3
Fixes: c7f2688540d95e ("fuse2fs: compact all the boolean flags in struct fuse2fs")
