Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to cover read extent cache access with lock

syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sanity_check_extent_cache+0x370/0x410 fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c:46 Read of size 4 at addr ffff8880739ab220 by task syz-executor200/5097

We missed to cover sanity_check_extent_cache() w/ extent cache lock so below race case may happen result in use after free issue.

  • f2fs_iget
  • do_read_inode
  • f2fs_init_read_extent_tree : add largest extent entry in to cache - shrink - f2fs_shrink_read_extent_tree - __shrink_extent_tree - __detach_extent_node : drop largest extent entry
  • sanity_check_extent_cache : access et->largest w/o lock

let’s refactor sanity_check_extent_cache() to avoid extent cache access and call it before f2fs_init_read_extent_tree() to fix this issue.
