If the starting position of our insert range happens to be in the hole between the two ext4_extent_idx, because the lblk of the ext4_extent in the previous ext4_extent_idx is always less than the start, which leads to the "extent" variable access across the boundary, the following UAF is triggered: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ext4_ext_shift_extents+0x257/0x790 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88819807a008 by task fallocate/8010 CPU: 3 PID: 8010 Comm: fallocate Tainted: G E 5.10.0+ #492 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7d/0xa3 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x1e/0x220 kasan_report.cold+0x67/0x7f ext4_ext_shift_extents+0x257/0x790 ext4_insert_range+0x5b6/0x700 ext4_fallocate+0x39e/0x3d0 vfs_fallocate+0x26f/0x470 ksys_fallocate+0x3a/0x70 __x64_sys_fallocate+0x4f/0x60 do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 ================================================================== To solve this issue, when the ee_block of the last extent is less than the start, exit the loop in advance to avoid UAF.

Create an ext4 containing two ext4_extent_idx mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^resize_inode,meta_bg,^sparse_super,^has_journal,^metadata_csum,quota,ea_inode -b 1024 -I 128 /dev/sda 4G mount /dev/sda /tmp/test touch file dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/test/file bs=1k count=800000 sync echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 2. Create a hole between two ext4_extent_idx, 528482304 is the starting position of idx2 fallocate -i -o 528482304 -l 10M /tmp/test/file 3. Keep moving right to make variable extent out of bounds for i in `seq 0 500000`; do fallocate -i -o $[ 533725184 + 5242880 * i ] -l 10M /tmp/test/file ;done 4. Execute "drop_caches" in another window try to trigger UAF echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches fs/ext4/extents.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/extents.c b/fs/ext4/extents.c index c148bb97b527..25fc1f4b35a5 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ b/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -5216,11 +5216,18 @@ ext4_ext_shift_extents(struct inode *inode, handle_t *handle, } tmp = *iterator; + extent = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(path[depth].p_hdr); if (SHIFT == SHIFT_LEFT) { - extent = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(path[depth].p_hdr); *iterator = le32_to_cpu(extent->ee_block) + ext4_ext_get_actual_len(extent); } else { + /* + * start happens to be in the hole between + * the two ext4_extent_idx. + */ + if (le32_to_cpu(extent->ee_block) < start) + break; + extent = EXT_FIRST_EXTENT(path[depth].p_hdr); if (le32_to_cpu(extent->ee_block) > 0) *iterator = le32_to_cpu(extent->ee_block) - 1; -- 2.31.1
