This adds sanity checks for xfs_dir2_data_unused and xfs_dir2_data_entry
to make sure don't stray beyond valid memory region. It just checks start
offset < end without checking end offset < end. So if last entry is
xfs_dir2_data_unused, and is located at the end of ag. We can change
dup->length to dup->length-1 and leave 1 byte of space. In the next
traversal, this space will be considered as dup or dep. We may encounter
an out-of-bound read when accessing the fixed members.

Well, it does do this checking, but it assumes that the dup/dep
headers fit in the buffer because of entry size and alignment
constraints.

Not sure what this means.

Ah, so not a real-world issue in any way.

Regardless, this is the corruption we are failing to catch.  All the
structures in the directory name area should be 8 byte aligned, and
we should be catching dup->length % XFS_DIR2_DATA_ALIGN != 0 and
reporting that as corruption.

This also means that the smallest valid length for dup->length is
xfs_dir2_data_entsize(mp, 1), except if it is the last entry in the
block (i.e. at end - offset == XFS_DIR2_DATA_ALIGN), in which case
it may be XFS_DIR2_DATA_ALIGN bytes in length.

IOWs, we're failing to check for both the alignment and the size
constraints on the dup->length field, and that's the problem we need
to fix to address the out of bounds read error being reported.

Can you please rework the patch to catch the corruption you induced
at the exact point we are processing the corrupt object, rather than
try to catch an overrun that might happen several iterations after
the corrupt object itself was processed?

Verifiers are supposed to validate each object in the structure is
within specification, not be coded simply to prevent out of bounds
accesses. i.e. if the next traversal trips over an out of bounds
access, then one of the previous iobject verifications failed to
detect an out of bounds value that it should not have missed.

That doesn't look correct - dep has a variable sized array and tail
packed information in it that sizeof(*dep) doesn't take into
account. The actual size of the dep structure we need to consider
here is going to be a minimum sized entry -
xfs_dir2_data_entsize(mp, 1) - as anything smaller than this size is
definitely invalid and we shouldn't attempt to decode any of it.

Thanks for your time.

I just add check for the fixed members because I see after the patch
code there is some checks for dup and dep. "offset +
be16_to_cpu(dup->length) > end" for dup and "offset +
xfs_dir2_data_entsize(mp, dep->namelen) > end" for dep.
“xfs_dir2_data_entsize(mp, dep->namelen)” ensures the alignment of the
dep.

Sure, but go back and read what I said.

Detect the actual object corruption, not the downstream symptom.

IOWs, the verifier should be detecting the exact corruption you
induced.

Catching all the object corruptions prevents a buffer overrun.
We abort processing before we move beyond the end of the buffer.

IOWs, we need to:

1. verify dup->length is a multiple of XFS_DIR2_DATA_ALIGN; and
2. verify that if the last object in the buffer is less than
   xfs_dir2_data_entsize(mp, 1) bytes in size it must be a dup
   entry of exactly XFS_DIR2_DATA_ALIGN bytes in length.

If either of these checks fail, then the block is corrupt.
#1 will catch your induced corruption and fail immediately.
#2 will catch the runt entry in the structure without derefencing
past the end of the structure.

Can you now see how properly validating that the objects within the
structure will prevent buffer overruns from occurring without
needing generic buffer overrun checks?

-Dave.

Got it. I will send a V2 patch to do a proper validation.
