In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix off-by-one in rtrefcount btree root level validation
xfs_rtrefcountbt_compute_maxlevels() sets
mp->m_rtrefc_maxlevels = min(d_maxlevels, r_maxlevels) + 1;
where the trailing “+ 1″ already accounts for the inode-root level, so the
deepest valid on-disk root level is m_rtrefc_maxlevels – 1 and a cursor must
satisfy bc_nlevels ” instead of “>=”, so a
crafted rtreflink (metadir + realtime + reflink) image whose
/rtgroups/N.refcount inode has bb_level == m_rtrefc_maxlevels is accepted on
mount. xfs_rtrefcountbt_init_cursor() then sets bc_nlevels = bb_level + 1,
exceeding bc_maxlevels by one. Since the xfs_rtrefcountbt_cur slab object is
sized for exactly bc_maxlevels entries, the first btree op on such a cursor
indexes bc_levels[m_rtrefc_maxlevels] past the end of the object. This is
reached by the first rtrefcount cursor built after mount, via log/CoW
recovery (xfs_reflink_recover_cow() during xfs_mountfs()) or an
FS_IOC_GETFSMAP over the realtime device.
Reject a root level equal to m_rtrefc_maxlevels, matching the “>=” form
already used by the sibling data-device refcount/rmap verifiers and the
in-memory rtrmap verifier.
