[PATCH] ufs: validate cylinder group free bitmap offset
From: Cen Zhang (Microsoft Security FORGE Labs)
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 15:23:24 EST
ufs_read_cylinder() copies cg_freeoff from the on-disk cylinder group
without checking that the free-fragment bitmap fits in the loaded
cylinder group buffers. A crafted image can place cg_freeoff past those
buffers so that allocation later indexes ubh->bh[] out of range.
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/ufs/balloc.c:752:15
ubh_scanc() fs/ufs/balloc.c:752
ufs_bitmap_search() fs/ufs/balloc.c
ufs_alloccg_block() fs/ufs/balloc.c
ufs_alloc_fragments() fs/ufs/balloc.c
ufs_new_fragments() fs/ufs/balloc.c
Reject the cylinder group unless the full BITS_TO_BYTES(s_fpg)
free-fragment bitmap starting at c_freeoff fits in the bytes actually
loaded for that cylinder group.
