Fwd: Kernel panic on listing QNX4 fs directory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I notice a bug report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

> When mounting a QNX4 filesystem in linux 6.6.0 (latest mainline) listing a directory may fail and cause a kernel panic.
> 
> 
> First discovered on ubuntu's own kernel, however I was curious if this was ubuntu-specific. turned out it wasn't. I compiled 6.6.0 from scratch with the attached config.
> 
> 
> steps to reproduce:
> 1. grab 6.6.0 from kernel.org main page.
> 2. apply attached config
> 3. make modules_install
> 4. sudo make install
> 5. reboot into new kernel
> 6. open disk image with disk image mounter (attaches it to /dev/loop30)
> 7. mount /dev/loop30p3 /mnt #(qnx partition) 
> 8. cd /dmnt
> 9. execute ls a few times in different directories.
> 
> 
> the first ls will give a [detected buffer overflow in strlen] kernel message.
> after a few times it completely hangs. 
> 
> 
> /var/log/kern.log reveals a full on panic:

Another reporter pinned down the cause:

> Checking the provided kernel log and config the below is what seems to be cause of the panic during the lookup operation of the qnx4 directory 
> 
> Panic dump stack indicates string length buffer overflow 
> and it is at below context during  qnx4_lookup() => qnx4_find_entry() => qnx4_match()

See Bugzilla for the full thread, attached kernel log, and proposed fix.
