CVE-2024-26727

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: do not ASSERT() if the newly created subvolume already got read [BUG] There is a syzbot crash, triggered by the ASSERT() during subvolume creation: assertion failed: !anon_dev, in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c:1319 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/disk-io.c:1319! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN RIP: 0010:btrfs_get_root_ref.part.0+0x9aa/0xa60 <TASK> btrfs_get_new_fs_root+0xd3/0xf0 create_subvol+0xd02/0x1650 btrfs_mksubvol+0xe95/0x12b0 __btrfs_ioctl_snap_create+0x2f9/0x4f0 btrfs_ioctl_snap_create+0x16b/0x200 btrfs_ioctl+0x35f0/0x5cf0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x19d/0x210 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xe0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0x6b ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [CAUSE] During create_subvol(), after inserting root item for the newly created subvolume, we would trigger btrfs_get_new_fs_root() to get the btrfs_root of that subvolume. The idea here is, we have preallocated an anonymous device number for the subvolume, thus we can assign it to the new subvolume. But there is really nothing preventing things like backref walk to read the new subvolume. If that happens before we call btrfs_get_new_fs_root(), the subvolume would be read out, with a new anonymous device number assigned already. In that case, we would trigger ASSERT(), as we really expect no one to read out that subvolume (which is not yet accessible from the fs). But things like backref walk is still possible to trigger the read on the subvolume. Thus our assumption on the ASSERT() is not correct in the first place. [FIX] Fix it by removing the ASSERT(), and just free the @anon_dev, reset it to 0, and continue. If the subvolume tree is read out by something else, it should have already get a new anon_dev assigned thus we only need to free the preallocated one.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: btrfs: no haga ASSERT() si el subvolumen recién creado ya se leyó [ERROR] Hay un bloqueo del syzbot, provocado por ASSERT() durante la creación del subvolumen: la aserción falló: ! anon_dev, en fs/btrfs/disk-io.c:1319 ------------[ cortar aquí ]------------ ERROR del kernel en fs/btrfs/disk -io.c:1319! código de operación no válido: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN RIP: 0010:btrfs_get_root_ref.part.0+0x9aa/0xa60 btrfs_get_new_fs_root+0xd3/0xf0 create_subvol+0xd02/0x1650 btrfs_mksubvol+0xe95/0x12b0 __ btrfs_ioctl_snap_create+0x2f9/0x4f0 btrfs_ioctl_snap_create+0x16b /0x200 btrfs_ioctl+0x35f0/0x5cf0 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x19d/0x210 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xe0 Entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0x6b ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [CA USO] Durante create_subvol(), después de insertar el elemento raíz para el subvolumen recién creado , activaríamos btrfs_get_new_fs_root() para obtener el btrfs_root de ese subvolumen. La idea aquí es que hemos preasignado un número de dispositivo anónimo para el subvolumen, por lo que podemos asignarlo al nuevo subvolumen. Pero realmente no hay nada que impida que cosas como backref caminen para leer el nuevo subvolumen. Si eso sucede antes de que llamemos a btrfs_get_new_fs_root(), se leerá el subvolumen y ya se habrá asignado un nuevo número de dispositivo anónimo. En ese caso, activaríamos ASSERT(), ya que realmente esperamos que nadie lea ese subvolumen (al que aún no se puede acceder desde fs). Pero aún es posible realizar cosas como el recorrido de referencia atrás para activar la lectura en el subvolumen. Por lo tanto, nuestra suposición sobre ASSERT() no es correcta en primer lugar. [FIX] Arréglelo eliminando ASSERT() y simplemente libere @anon_dev, restablezcalo a 0 y continúe. Si otra cosa lee el árbol de subvolumen, ya debería tener asignado un nuevo anon_dev, por lo que solo necesitamos liberar el preasignado.
