Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] f2fs: validate orphan inode entry count
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 09:23:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703132337.4099385-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026070201-evasion-negate-eca9@gregkh>
From: Wenjie Qi <qwjhust@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 846c499a65816d13f1186e3090e825e8bb8bcb8b ]
f2fs_recover_orphan_inodes() trusts the orphan block entry_count when
replaying orphan inodes from the checkpoint pack. A corrupted entry_count
larger than F2FS_ORPHANS_PER_BLOCK makes the recovery loop read past the
ino[] array and interpret footer or following data as inode numbers.
On a crafted image, mounting an unpatched kernel can drive orphan recovery
into f2fs_bug_on() and panic the kernel. Validate entry_count before
consuming entries so corrupted checkpoint data fails the mount with
-EFSCORRUPTED and requests fsck instead.
Set ERROR_INCONSISTENT_ORPHAN as well, so the corruption reason can be
recorded in the superblock s_errors[] field. This gives fsck a persistent
hint even though mount-time orphan recovery failure may leave no chance to
persist SBI_NEED_FSCK through a checkpoint.
