The utility fsck.cramfs is prone to a bus error on file systems for big endian systems with non-standard header sizes. While calculating the crc32 checksum, it does not properly handle a possible offset for bootcodes, resulting in out of boundary access of mmap'ed area. You can trigger the issue with the following commands: $ mkdir -p cramfs-poc/root/subdir $ cd cramfs-poc $ mkfs.cramfs -p -N big root cramfs $ echo -ne \\00\\x4c | dd of=cramfs bs=1 seek=518 count=2 conv=notrunc $ fsck.cramfs cramfs Signed-off-by: Tobias Stoeckmann <tobias@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- disk-utils/fsck.cramfs.c | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/disk-utils/fsck.cramfs.c b/disk-utils/fsck.cramfs.c index 50c7d33b9..3d0b9de58 100644 --- a/disk-utils/fsck.cramfs.c +++ b/disk-utils/fsck.cramfs.c @@ -219,24 +219,24 @@ static void test_crc(int start) crc = crc32(0L, NULL, 0); - buf = - mmap(NULL, super.size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); + buf = mmap(NULL, start + super.size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, + MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); if (buf == MAP_FAILED) { - buf = - mmap(NULL, super.size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, - MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); + buf = mmap(NULL, start + super.size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, + MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (buf != MAP_FAILED) { - if (lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET) == (off_t) -1) + if (lseek(fd, start, SEEK_SET) == (off_t) -1) err(FSCK_EX_ERROR, _("seek on %s failed"), filename); - if (read(fd, buf, super.size) != (ssize_t) super.size) + if (read(fd, (unsigned char *) buf + start, super.size) != + (ssize_t) super.size) err(FSCK_EX_ERROR, _("cannot read %s"), filename); } } if (buf != MAP_FAILED) { ((struct cramfs_super *)((unsigned char *) buf + start))->fsid.crc = crc32(0L, NULL, 0); - crc = crc32(crc, (unsigned char *) buf + start, super.size - start); - munmap(buf, super.size); + crc = crc32(crc, (unsigned char *) buf + start, super.size); + munmap(buf, start + super.size); } else { int retval; size_t length = 0; -- 2.14.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
