CVE-2021-47072

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix removed dentries still existing after log is synced When we move one inode from one directory to another and both the inode and its previous parent directory were logged before, we are not supposed to have the dentry for the old parent if we have a power failure after the log is synced. Only the new dentry is supposed to exist. Generally this works correctly, however there is a scenario where this is not currently working, because the old parent of the file/directory that was moved is not authoritative for a range that includes the dir index and dir item keys of the old dentry. This case is better explained with the following example and reproducer: # The test requires a very specific layout of keys and items in the # fs/subvolume btree to trigger the bug. So we want to make sure that # on whatever platform we are, we have the same leaf/node size. # # Currently in btrfs the node/leaf size can not be smaller than the page # size (but it can be greater than the page size). So use the largest # supported node/leaf size (64K). $ mkfs.btrfs -f -n 65536 /dev/sdc $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt # "testdir" is inode 257. $ mkdir /mnt/testdir $ chmod 755 /mnt/testdir # Create several empty files to have the directory "testdir" with its # items spread over several leaves (7 in this case). $ for ((i = 1; i <= 1200; i++)); do echo -n > /mnt/testdir/file$i done # Create our test directory "dira", inode number 1458, which gets all # its items in leaf 7. # # The BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY item for inode 257 ("testdir") that points to # the entry named "dira" is in leaf 2, while the BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY # item that points to that entry is in leaf 3. # # For this particular filesystem node size (64K), file count and file # names, we endup with the directory entry items from inode 257 in # leaves 2 and 3, as previously mentioned - what matters for triggering # the bug exercised by this test case is that those items are not placed # in leaf 1, they must be placed in a leaf different from the one # containing the inode item for inode 257. # # The corresponding BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY and BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items for # the parent inode (257) are the following: # # item 460 key (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081) itemoff 48344 itemsize 34 # location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR # transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4 # name: dira # # and: # # item 771 key (257 DIR_INDEX 1202) itemoff 36673 itemsize 34 # location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR # transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4 # name: dira $ mkdir /mnt/testdir/dira # Make sure everything done so far is durably persisted. $ sync # Now do a change to inode 257 ("testdir") that does not result in # COWing leaves 2 and 3 - the leaves that contain the directory items # pointing to inode 1458 (directory "dira"). # # Changing permissions, the owner/group, updating or adding a xattr, # etc, will not change (COW) leaves 2 and 3. So for the sake of # simplicity change the permissions of inode 257, which results in # updating its inode item and therefore change (COW) only leaf 1. $ chmod 700 /mnt/testdir # Now fsync directory inode 257. # # Since only the first leaf was changed/COWed, we log the inode item of # inode 257 and only the dentries found in the first leaf, all have a # key type of BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY, and no keys of type # BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY, because they sort after the former type and none # exist in the first leaf. # # We also log 3 items that represent ranges for dir items and dir # indexes for which the log is authoritative: # # 1) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_ITEM_KEY, which indicates the log is # authoritative for all BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY keys that have an offset # in the range [0, 2285968570] (the offset here is th ---truncated---

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: btrfs: corrige las dentries eliminadas que aún existen después de sincronizar el registro. Cuando movemos un inodo de un directorio a otro y tanto el inodo como su directorio principal anterior se registraron antes, se supone que no tener la dentry del padre anterior si tenemos un corte de energía después de sincronizar el registro. Se supone que sólo existe el nuevo dentry. En general, esto funciona correctamente, sin embargo, hay un escenario en el que esto no funciona actualmente, porque el padre antiguo del archivo/directorio que se movió no tiene autoridad para un rango que incluye el índice de directorio y las claves de elemento de directorio del dentry anterior. Este caso se explica mejor con el siguiente ejemplo y reproductor: # La prueba requiere un diseño muy específico de claves y elementos en el árbol # fs/subvolume para activar el error. Por eso queremos asegurarnos de que # en cualquier plataforma en la que estemos, tengamos el mismo tamaño de hoja/nodo. # # Actualmente en btrfs el tamaño del nodo/hoja no puede ser menor que el tamaño de la página # (pero puede ser mayor que el tamaño de la página). Por lo tanto, utilice el mayor tamaño de nodo/hoja admitido (64K). $ mkfs.btrfs -f -n 65536 /dev/sdc $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt # "testdir" is inode 257. $ mkdir /mnt/testdir $ chmod 755 /mnt/testdir # Create several empty files to have the directory "testdir" with its # items spread over several leaves (7 in this case). $ for ((i = 1; i &lt;= 1200; i++)); do echo -n &gt; /mnt/testdir/file$i done # Create our test directory "dira", inode number 1458, which gets all # its items in leaf 7. # # The BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY item for inode 257 ("testdir") that points to # the entry named "dira" is in leaf 2, while the BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY # item that points to that entry is in leaf 3. # # For this particular filesystem node size (64K), file count and file # names, we endup with the directory entry items from inode 257 in # leaves 2 and 3, as previously mentioned - what matters for triggering # the bug exercised by this test case is that those items are not placed # in leaf 1, they must be placed in a leaf different from the one # containing the inode item for inode 257. # # The corresponding BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY and BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items for # the parent inode (257) are the following: # # item 460 key (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081) itemoff 48344 itemsize 34 # location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR # transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4 # name: dira # # and: # # item 771 key (257 DIR_INDEX 1202) itemoff 36673 itemsize 34 # location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR # transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4 # name: dira $ mkdir /mnt/testdir/dira # Make sure everything done so far is durably persisted. $ sync # Now do a change to inode 257 ("testdir") that does not result in # COWing leaves 2 and 3 - the leaves that contain the directory items # pointing to inode 1458 (directory "dira"). # # Changing permissions, the owner/group, updating or adding a xattr, # etc, will not change (COW) leaves 2 and 3.
