Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Squashfs: check return result of sb_min_blocksize

Syzkaller reports an SAN: shift-out-of-bounds in squashfs_bio_read\ bug.

Syzkaller forks multiple processes which after mounting the Squashfs filesystem issues an ioctl(/dev/loop0\ LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE 0x8000). Now if this ioctl occurs at the same time another process is in the process of mounting a Squashfs filesystem on /dev/loop0 the failure occurs. When this happens the following code in squashfs_fill_super() fails.

msblk->devblksize = sb_min_blocksize(sb SQUASHFS_DEVBLK_SIZE); msblk->devblksize_log2 = ffz(~msblk->devblksize);

sb_min_blocksize() returns 0 which means msblk->devblksize is set to 0.

As a result ffz(~msblk->devblksize) returns 64 and msblk->devblksize_log2 is set to 64.

This subsequently causes the

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/squashfs/block.c:195:36 shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type ‘u64’ (aka ‘unsigned long long’)

This commit adds a check for a 0 return by sb_min_blocksize().
