FKIE_CVE-2023-52900

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-08-21 07:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 06:43
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix general protection fault in nilfs_btree_insert() If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and tries to reads a b-tree node block by calling __nilfs_btree_get_block() against an invalid virtual block address, it returns -ENOENT because conversion of the virtual block address to a disk block address fails. However, this return value is the same as the internal code that b-tree lookup routines return to indicate that the block being searched does not exist, so functions that operate on that b-tree may misbehave. When nilfs_btree_insert() receives this spurious 'not found' code from nilfs_btree_do_lookup(), it misunderstands that the 'not found' check was successful and continues the insert operation using incomplete lookup path data, causing the following crash: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f] ...

By returning -EINVAL, it propagates without glitches, and for all relevant b-tree operations, functions in the upper bmap layer output an error message indicating corrupted b-tree metadata via nilfs_bmap_convert_error(), and code -EIO will be eventually returned as it should be.

Sin embargo, este valor de retorno es el mismo que el c\u00f3digo interno que devuelven las rutinas de b\u00fasqueda del \u00e1rbol b para indicar que el bloque que se busca no existe, por lo que las funciones que operan en ese \u00e1rbol b pueden comportarse mal. Cuando nilfs_btree_insert() recibe este c\u00f3digo falso \u0027no encontrado\u0027 de nilfs_btree_do_lookup(), malinterpreta que la verificaci\u00f3n \u0027no encontrado\u0027 fue exitosa y contin\u00faa la operaci\u00f3n de inserci\u00f3n utilizando datos de ruta de b\u00fasqueda incompletos, lo que provoca el siguiente bloqueo: falla de protecci\u00f3n general, probablemente por direcci\u00f3n no can\u00f3nica 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref en el rango [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f] ...
