Here is the version which I plan to use in e2fsprogs's maint branch. - Ted commit aacc234471a9a0ab6d8d6f610a0e4996e9bfc785 Author: Wang Shilong <wshilong@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 30 19:52:39 2019 -0500 e2fsck: fix use after free in calculate_tree() The problem is alloc_blocks() will call get_next_block() which might reallocate outdir->buf, and memory address could be changed after this. To fix this, pointers that point into outdir->buf, such as int_limit and root need to be recaulated based on the new starting address of outdir->buf. [ Changed to correctly recalculate int_limit, and to optimize how we reallocate outdir->buf. -TYT ] Signed-off-by: Wang Shilong <wshilong@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> diff --git a/e2fsck/rehash.c b/e2fsck/rehash.c index 392cfe9f..54bc6803 100644 --- a/e2fsck/rehash.c +++ b/e2fsck/rehash.c @@ -301,7 +301,11 @@ static errcode_t get_next_block(ext2_filsys fs, struct out_dir *outdir, errcode_t retval; if (outdir->num >= outdir->max) { - retval = alloc_size_dir(fs, outdir, outdir->max + 50); + int increment = outdir->max / 10; + + if (increment < 50) + increment = 50; + retval = alloc_size_dir(fs, outdir, outdir->max + increment); if (retval) return retval; } @@ -645,6 +649,9 @@ static int alloc_blocks(ext2_filsys fs, if (retval) return retval; + /* outdir->buf might be reallocated */ + *prev_ent = (struct ext2_dx_entry *) (outdir->buf + *prev_offset); + *next_ent = set_int_node(fs, block_start); *limit = (struct ext2_dx_countlimit *)(*next_ent); if (next_offset) @@ -734,6 +741,9 @@ static errcode_t calculate_tree(ext2_filsys fs, return retval; } if (c3 == 0) { + int delta1 = (char *)int_limit - outdir->buf; + int delta2 = (char *)root - outdir->buf; + retval = alloc_blocks(fs, &limit, &int_ent, &dx_ent, &int_offset, NULL, outdir, i, &c2, @@ -741,6 +751,11 @@ static errcode_t calculate_tree(ext2_filsys fs, if (retval) return retval; + /* outdir->buf might be reallocated */ + int_limit = (struct ext2_dx_countlimit *) + (outdir->buf + delta1); + root = (struct ext2_dx_entry *) + (outdir->buf + delta2); } dx_ent->block = ext2fs_cpu_to_le32(i); if (c3 != limit->limit)
