[PATCH] liblkid: Add length check in probe_nilfs2 before crc32

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

 



The bytes variable is read from the file system to probe and must be
checked before used as length parameter in the crc32 call.

The following problems may occur here:

- bytes smaller than sumoff + 4: underflow in length calculation
- bytes larger than remaining space in sb: overflow of buffer

This fixes a problem where an encrypted volume had the correct magic
values 0x3434 at offset 0x406 and the following uint16_t (which is
read into the nilfs_super_block.s_bytes struct) was parsed as 1.

Then crc32 was called with the length value 18446744073709551597
causing a segmentation fault.
