Subject: [PATCH v2] ocfs2: validate dx entry list counts on read
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 11:09:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423030911.3532135-1-gality369@gmail.com> (raw)
[BUG]
A corrupt indexed directory dx leaf can carry de_num_used larger than
de_count. When unlinkat() removes an indexed entry, that corrupt count
reaches ocfs2_dx_list_remove_entry() and drives an oversized memmove():

[CAUSE]
DX leaf and inline dx root blocks validate signatures and ECC, but they
do not validate the geometry of struct ocfs2_dx_entry_list. Corrupt
de_count/de_num_used values therefore survive block read and are later
used as traversal bounds and memmove/memset lengths in lookup, delete
and rebalance paths. In the unlink case, lookup can still find the
target entry before the bad bound matters, and the same corrupt
de_num_used then reaches ocfs2_dx_list_remove_entry().
[FIX]
Validate dx entry-list geometry in the metadata read callbacks. de_count
must match the block layout for the current superblock, and de_num_used
must not exceed de_count. Do this for both dx leaves and inline dx
roots so corrupted metadata is rejected before any caller walks or
rewrites de_entries[].

No Fixes tag is included because this is a missing metadata validation
check, not a regression attributable to a single introducing commit.
v2:
- Reframe the bug report around the unlinkat-triggered UAF
- Keep the code change unchanged because it fixes the same root cause
