From dff4f9ff5d7f289e4545cc936362e01ed3252742 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anderson Nascimento anderson@allelesecurity.com Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 09:49:02 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: avoid potential out-of-bounds in btrfs_encode_fh()
The function btrfs_encode_fh() does not properly account for the three cases it handles.
Before writing to the file handle (fh), the function only returns to the user BTRFS_FID_SIZE_NON_CONNECTABLE (5 dwords, 20 bytes) or BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE (8 dwords, 32 bytes).
However, when a parent exists and the root ID of the parent and the inode are different, the function writes BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT (10 dwords, 40 bytes).
If *max_len is not large enough, this write goes out of bounds because BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT is greater than BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE originally returned.
This results in an 8-byte out-of-bounds write at fid->parent_root_objectid = parent_root_id.
A previous attempt to fix this issue was made but was lost.

Although this issue does not seem to be easily triggerable, it is a potential memory corruption bug that should be fixed. This patch resolves the issue by ensuring the function returns the appropriate size for all three cases and validates that *max_len is large enough before writing any data.
