[RFC PATCH] xfs: prevent spoofing of rtbitmap blocks when recovering buffers

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

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

While reviewing the buffer item recovery code, the thought occurred to
me: in V5 filesystems we use log sequence number (LSN) tracking to avoid
replaying older metadata updates against newer log items.  However, we
use the magic number of the ondisk buffer to find the LSN of the ondisk
metadata, which means that if an attacker can control the layout of the
realtime device precisely enough that the start of an rt bitmap block
matches the magic and UUID of some other kind of block, they can control
the purported LSN of that spoofed block and thereby break log replay.

Since realtime bitmap and summary blocks don't have headers at all, we
have no way to tell if a block really should be replayed.  The best we
can do is replay unconditionally and hope for the best.

XXX: Won't this leave us with a corrupt rtbitmap if recovery also fails?
In other words, the usual problems that happen when you /don't/ track
buffer age with LSNs?  I've noticed that the recoveryloop tests get hung
up on incorrect frextents after a few iterations, but have not had time
to figure out if the rtbitmap recovery is wrong, or if there's something
broken with the old-style summary updates for rt counters.

XXXX: Maybe someone should fix the ondisk format to track the (magic,
blkno, lsn, uuid) like we do everything else in V5?  That's gonna suck
for 64-bit divisions...
