In do_isofs_readdir() when assigning the variable "struct iso_directory_record *de" the b_data field of the buffer_head is accessed and an offset is added to it, the size of b_data is 2048 and the offset size is 2047, meaning "de = (struct iso_directory_record *) (bh->b_data + offset);" yields the final byte of the 2048 sized b_data block. The first byte of the directory record (de_len) is then read and found to be 31, meaning the directory record size is 31 bytes long. The directory record is defined by the structure: struct iso_directory_record { __u8 length; // 1 byte __u8 ext_attr_length; // 1 byte __u8 extent[8]; // 8 bytes __u8 size[8]; // 8 bytes __u8 date[7]; // 7 bytes __u8 flags; // 1 byte __u8 file_unit_size; // 1 byte __u8 interleave; // 1 byte __u8 volume_sequence_number[4]; // 4 bytes __u8 name_len; // 1 byte char name[]; // variable size } __attribute__((packed)); The fixed portion of this structure occupies 33 bytes. Therefore, a valid directory record must be at least 33 bytes long (even without considering the variable-length name field). Since de_len is only 31, it is insufficient to contain the complete fixed header. The code later hits the following sanity check that compares de_len against the sum of de->name_len and sizeof(struct iso_directory_record): if (de_len < de->name_len[0] + sizeof(struct iso_directory_record)) { ... } Since the fixed portion of the structure is 33 bytes (up to and including name_len member), a valid record should have de_len of at least 33 bytes; here, however, de_len is too short, and the field de->name_len (located at offset 32) is accessed even though it lies beyond the available 31 bytes. This access on the corrupted isofs data triggers a KASAN uninitialized memory warning. The fix would be to first verify that de_len is at least sizeof(struct iso_directory_record) before accessing any fields like de->name_len.
