Let's do that directly after looking up the ->send_fd. We don't need a separate bailout path because the "out" path already does fput() if ->send_filp is non-NULL. This has no security impact for two reasons: - the ioctl requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN - __kernel_write() bails out on read-only files - but only since 5.8, see commit a01ac27be472 ("fs: check FMODE_WRITE in __kernel_write") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+12e098239d20385264d3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=12e098239d20385264d3 Fixes: 31db9f7c23fb ("Btrfs: introduce BTRFS_IOC_SEND for btrfs send/receive") CC: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.14+ Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/btrfs/send.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/btrfs/send.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/send.c @@ -7885,7 +7885,7 @@ long btrfs_ioctl_send(struct inode *inod } sctx->send_filp = fget(arg->send_fd); - if (!sctx->send_filp) { + if (!sctx->send_filp || !(sctx->send_filp->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE)) { ret = -EBADF; goto out; } Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from jannh@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-6.1/btrfs-send-ensure-send_fd-is-writable.patch
