[PATCH] udf: fix OOB read for a crafted unallocSpaceEntry
From: Baul Lee
Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 02:28:03 EST
udf_read_inode() sanity-checks the on-disk allocation-descriptor length
before it is used:
if (iinfo->i_lenEAttr > bs || iinfo->i_lenAlloc > bs)
goto out;
/* Now do exact checks */
if (udf_file_entry_alloc_offset(inode) + iinfo->i_lenAlloc > bs)
goto out;
but the TAG_IDENT_USE branch sets i_lenAlloc from the on-disk
lengthAllocDescs and returns before ever reaching them. A USE inode
therefore keeps a completely unvalidated le32 there, while i_data is
allocated at only bs - sizeof(struct unallocSpaceEntry) bytes.
udf_current_aext() computes, in its in-ICB branch,
alen = udf_file_entry_alloc_offset(inode) + iinfo->i_lenAlloc;
with no clamp and passes alen to udf_get_fileshortad() as maxoffset.
That helper only checks (*offset + sizeof(struct short_ad)) > maxoffset,
so an inflated i_lenAlloc lets the walk step past the end of i_data and
dereference sa->extLength in adjacent slab memory.
A Type-1 partition whose unallocSpaceTable extent is non-zero loads the
USE table inode at mount and sets UDF_PART_FLAG_UNALLOC_TABLE. An
unprivileged statfs(2) then reaches udf_count_free_table() ->
udf_next_aext() -> udf_current_aext(), and KASAN reports a
slab-out-of-bounds read just past the 472-byte i_data allocation.
Apply the same exact check on the USE path, before i_data is allocated
and walked. ret is still -EIO there, so the offending inode fails to
load.
