Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: check return result of sb_min_blocksize
Syzkaller reports an "UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in squashfs_bio_read" bug.
Syzkaller forks multiple processes which after mounting the Squashfs
filesystem, issues an ioctl("/dev/loop0", LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE, 0x8000).
Now if this ioctl occurs at the same time another process is in the
process of mounting a Squashfs filesystem on /dev/loop0, the failure
occurs. When this happens the following code in squashfs_fill_super()
fails.
----
msblk->devblksize = sb_min_blocksize(sb, SQUASHFS_DEVBLK_SIZE);
msblk->devblksize_log2 = ffz(~msblk->devblksize);
----
sb_min_blocksize() returns 0, which means msblk->devblksize is set to 0.
As a result, ffz(~msblk->devblksize) returns 64, and msblk->devblksize_log2
is set to 64.
This subsequently causes the
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/squashfs/block.c:195:36
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'u64' (aka
'unsigned long long')
This commit adds a check for a 0 return by sb_min_blocksize().
