[PATCH 5.10 377/518] ext4: update orig_path in ext4_find_extent()

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

 



5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5b4b2dcace35f618fe361a87bae6f0d13af31bc1 upstream.

In ext4_find_extent(), if the path is not big enough, we free it and set
*orig_path to NULL. But after reallocating and successfully initializing
the path, we don't update *orig_path, in which case the caller gets a
valid path but a NULL ppath, and this may cause a NULL pointer dereference
or a path memory leak. For example:

ext4_split_extent
  path = *ppath = 2000
  ext4_find_extent
    if (depth > path[0].p_maxdepth)
      kfree(path = 2000);
      *orig_path = path = NULL;
      path = kcalloc() = 3000
  ext4_split_extent_at(*ppath = NULL)
    path = *ppath;
    ex = path[depth].p_ext;
    // NULL pointer dereference!

==================================================================

==================================================================

Therefore, *orig_path is updated when the extent lookup succeeds, so that
the caller can safely use path or *ppath.
