This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Squashfs: sanity check symbolic link size to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: squashfs-sanity-check-symbolic-link-size.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b7769eae32ed03dc420b1a28e501349b6593c38e Author: Phillip Lougher <phillip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 12 00:28:21 2024 +0100 Squashfs: sanity check symbolic link size [ Upstream commit 810ee43d9cd245d138a2733d87a24858a23f577d ] Syzkiller reports a "KMSAN: uninit-value in pick_link" bug. This is caused by an uninitialised page, which is ultimately caused by a corrupted symbolic link size read from disk. The reason why the corrupted symlink size causes an uninitialised page is due to the following sequence of events: 1. squashfs_read_inode() is called to read the symbolic link from disk. This assigns the corrupted value 3875536935 to inode->i_size. 2. Later squashfs_symlink_read_folio() is called, which assigns this corrupted value to the length variable, which being a signed int, overflows producing a negative number. 3. The following loop that fills in the page contents checks that the copied bytes is less than length, which being negative means the loop is skipped, producing an uninitialised page. This patch adds a sanity check which checks that the symbolic link size is not larger than expected. -- Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240811232821.13903-1-phillip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reported-by: Lizhi Xu <lizhi.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: syzbot+24ac24ff58dc5b0d26b9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/000000000000a90e8c061e86a76b@xxxxxxxxxx/ V2: fix spelling mistake.
