[PATCH] xfs: bound inode fork length against the fork size during log recovery

From: Aldo Ariel Panzardo

Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 10:06:34 EST


xlog_recover_inode_commit_pass2() copies an inode log item's data/attr
fork region into the inode buffer using the on-log region length without
bounding it against the fork capacity, e.g.:

len = item->ri_buf[2].iov_len;
memcpy(XFS_DFORK_DPTR(dip), src, len);

The only guard is an ASSERT, which is a no-op on production kernels
(CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG off), and xfs_dinode_verify() runs only after the copy.
A crafted image with a dirty log can therefore drive a heap out-of-bounds
write at mount time. The XFS_ILOG_DBROOT sibling already passes
XFS_DFORK_DSIZE as a bound; the DDATA/DEXT and ADATA/AEXT memcpy paths
did not.

Reject the log item with -EFSCORRUPTED when the region length exceeds the
destination fork size.
