Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] xfs: bound da-node entry count against the correct geometry
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 09:29:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105142750.1661575-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110405-unleaded-ongoing-7d17@gregkh>

From: Aldo Ariel Panzardo <qwe.aldo@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 3df5e5aaa3bc0913236c48ab29b7df3a785aa29f ]

xfs_da3_node_verify() bounds the node entry count against the larger of
the directory and attribute geometries because, as a buffer verifier, it
cannot tell whether the block belongs to the directory or the attribute
tree. When the directory block size exceeds the fs block size (e.g.
mkfs.xfs -n size=64k -b size=4k), an attribute node buffer is a single fs
block that holds only m_attr_geo->node_ents entries, yet a crafted attr
node may claim a count up to m_dir_geo->node_ents and still pass the
verifier.

xfs_da3_node_lookup_int() then indexes btree[] up to that count during
its binary search -- an out-of-bounds read via getxattr/listxattr on a
mounted crafted image.

The buffer verifier is the wrong place to tighten this: it has no fork
context, and the transaction-less read path used by getxattr does not run
xfs_da3_node_set_type() either. xfs_da3_node_lookup_int(), on the other
hand, always runs on that path and holds args->geo, the geometry of the
fork actually being searched. Bound the entry count against
args->geo->node_ents there, before walking the entries.

Fixes: 7ab610f9e0f1 ("xfs: move node entry counts to xfs_da_geometry")
