Hi! While inspecting the squashfs implementation of Barebox I noticed some issues and was able trigger heap corruptions using crafted filesystems. e.g. ==30712==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0x7f07bdaff800 at pc 0x0000004af3e2 bp 0x7ffdf8374a40 sp 0x7ffdf8374a38 WRITE of size 1 at 0x7f07bdaff800 thread T0 #0 0x4af3e1 in __default_memcpy lib/string.c:638 #1 0x534791 in squashfs_copy_data fs/squashfs/cache.c:257 #2 0x534948 in squashfs_read_metadata fs/squashfs/cache.c:299 #3 0x539d46 in squashfs_get_link fs/squashfs/symlink.c:62 #4 0x509153 in get_link fs/fs.c:1919 #5 0x512395 in trailing_symlink fs/fs.c:2230 #6 0x512395 in openat fs/fs.c:2600 #7 0x49926b in barebox_open include/fcntl.h:45 #8 0x49926b in do_cat commands/cat.c:40 #9 0x415e99 in execute_command common/command.c:62 #10 0x40f25e in execute_binfmt common/binfmt.c:67 #11 0x42cef4 in run_pipe_real common/hush.c:845 #12 0x42cef4 in run_list_real common/hush.c:969 #13 0x42b14e in run_list common/hush.c:1107 #14 0x42b14e in parse_stream_outer common/hush.c:1734 #15 0x42db7e in run_shell common/hush.c:1957 #16 0x40a718 in run_init common/startup.c:322 #17 0x40a7f2 in start_barebox common/startup.c:368 #18 0x5490f3 in main (/home/rw/barebox/barebox+0x5490f3) #19 0x7f07c083e24c in __libc_start_main (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x3524c) #20 0x406f69 in _start ../sysdeps/x86_64/start.S:120 0x7f07bdaff800 is located 0 bytes to the right of 16777216-byte region [0x7f07bcaff800,0x7f07bdaff800) allocated by thread T0 here: #0 0x7f07c0adc110 in malloc (/usr/lib64/libasan.so.4+0xdc110) #1 0x548e44 in main (/home/rw/barebox/barebox+0x548e44) #2 0x7f07c083e24c in __libc_start_main (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x3524c) While implementing fixes for them I realized that these are all known and fixed in Linux. I suggest backporting at least these Linux fixes for squashfs: 01cfb7937a9af ("squashfs: be more careful about metadata corruption") d512584780d3e ("squashfs: more metadata hardening") cdbb65c4c7ead ("squashfs metadata 2: electric boogaloo") 71755ee5350b6 ("squashfs: more metadata hardening") a3f94cb99a854 ("Squashfs: Compute expected length from inode size rather than block length") Thanks, //richard -- sigma star gmbh | Eduard-Bodem-Gasse 6, 6020 Innsbruck, AUT UID/VAT Nr: ATU 66964118 | FN: 374287y
