Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend [BUG] kernel BUG at fs/ocfs2/resize.c:308! Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI RIP: 0010:ocfs2_group_extend+0x10aa/0x1ae0 fs/ocfs2/resize.c:308 Code: 8b8520ff ffff83f8 860f8580 030000e8 5cc3c1fe Call Trace: ... ocfs2_ioctl+0x175/0x6e0 fs/ocfs2/ioctl.c:869 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:597 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:583 [inline] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x197/0x1e0 fs/ioctl.c:583 x64_sys_call+0x1144/0x26a0 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:17 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x93/0xf80 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e ... [CAUSE] ocfs2_group_extend() assumes that the global bitmap inode block returned from ocfs2_inode_lock() has already been validated and BUG_ONs when the signature is not a dinode. That assumption is too strong for crafted filesystems because the JBD2-managed buffer path can bypass structural validation and return an invalid dinode to the resize ioctl. [FIX] Validate the dinode explicitly in ocfs2_group_extend(). If the global bitmap buffer does not contain a valid dinode, report filesystem corruption with ocfs2_error() and fail the resize operation instead of crashing the kernel.
