[PATCH] ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan

From: ZhengYuan Huang

Date: Thu Apr 09 2026 - 02:03:22 EST


[BUG]
A crafted filesystem can trigger an out-of-bounds bitmap walk when
OCFS2_IOC_INFO is issued with OCFS2_INFO_FL_NON_COHERENT.

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_info_freefrag_scan_chain() uses on-disk bg_bits directly as the
bitmap scan limit. The coherent path reads group descriptors through
ocfs2_read_group_descriptor(), which enforces bg_bits <= bg_size * 8.
The non-coherent path uses ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() instead and skips
that validation, so an impossible bg_bits value can drive the bitmap
walk past the end of the block.

[FIX]
Check bg_bits against the actual bitmap capacity before scanning the
group bitmap and fail the ioctl with -EIO if the descriptor is
impossible. This keeps the coherent path unchanged and gives the
non-coherent path the same bound needed to avoid walking beyond the
buffer.
