Subject: [PATCH] jfs: validate l2nbperiext in diMount() to prevent shift-out-of-bounds
Author: tristmd@xxxxxxxxx
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
#syz test: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
diMount() reads im_l2nbperiext and im_nbperiext directly from on-disk
metadata without validating them. A corrupted filesystem image can set
im_l2nbperiext to an arbitrarily large value, which is then used as a
shift exponent in jfs_statfs():
maxinodes = min((s64) atomic_read(&imap->im_numinos) +
((sbi->bmap->db_nfree >> imap->im_l2nbperiext)
<< L2INOSPEREXT), (s64) 0xffffffffLL);
This triggers UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds when the exponent exceeds 63.
Add a sanity check after reading both fields in diMount() to reject
the filesystem mount if l2nbperiext is out of range or inconsistent
with nbperiext.
