[PATCH] gfs2: reject an over-long name in get_name_filldir

From: Michael Bommarito

Date: Sat Jul 11 2026 - 11:11:25 EST


get_name_filldir() copies a directory entry name into the caller's fixed
GFS2_FNAMESIZE-byte buffer with memcpy(gnfd->name, name, length) without
checking length against GFS2_FNAMESIZE. A gfs2 directory entry whose name
length exceeds GFS2_FNAMESIZE, as produced by a corrupted or crafted
on-disk directory, overflows the buffer.

Impact: an out-of-bounds write past the GFS2_FNAMESIZE name buffer (KASAN)
in the NFS-export get_name path, reachable when a gfs2 filesystem carrying
a crafted directory entry is re-exported over NFS.

Reject entries whose name length exceeds GFS2_FNAMESIZE before the copy.
