Subject: [PATCH] adfs: validate nzones in adfs_read_map()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:23:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026032055-abstain-ending-6acc@gregkh> (raw)
From: Bae Yeonju <iwasbaeyz@gmail.com>
adfs_read_map() reads the zone count from the on-disk disc record
without validation:
nzones = dr->nzones | dr->nzones_high << 8;
When nzones is 0, the subsequent kmalloc_array(0, ...) returns
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10), and adfs_map_layout() writes to dm[-1],
causing an out-of-bounds write before the allocated buffer.
This can be triggered by mounting a crafted ADFS filesystem image
with nzones set to 0 in the disc record. It leads to kernel heap
corruption and a NULL pointer dereference during mount.
Add a check to reject disc records with nzones == 0 before the
allocation.
Found by syzkaller.
