From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Chang via Grub-devel Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:06:12 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext2: Rework out-of-bounds read for inline and external extents Previously, the number of extent entries was not properly capped based on the actual available space. This could lead to insufficient reads for external extents, since the computation was based solely on the inline extent layout. In this patch, when processing the extent header, we determine whether the header is stored inline (i.e., at inode->blocks.dir_blocks) or in an external extent block. We then clamp the number of entries accordingly (using max_inline_ext for inline extents and max_external_ext for external extent blocks). This change ensures that only the valid number of extent entries is processed, preventing out-of-bound reads and potential filesystem corruption.
