Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
gfs2: Validate i_depth for exhash directories<br />
<br />
A fuzzer test introduced corruption that ends up with a depth of 0 in<br />
dir_e_read(), causing an undefined shift by 32 at:<br />
<br />
index = hash >> (32 - dip->i_depth);<br />
<br />
As calculated in an open-coded way in dir_make_exhash(), the minimum<br />
depth for an exhash directory is ilog2(sdp->sd_hash_ptrs) and 0 is<br />
invalid as sdp->sd_hash_ptrs is fixed as sdp->bsize / 16 at mount time.<br />
<br />
So we can avoid the undefined behaviour by checking for depth values<br />
lower than the minimum in gfs2_dinode_in(). Values greater than the<br />
maximum are already being checked for there.<br />
<br />
Also switch the calculation in dir_make_exhash() to use ilog2() to<br />
clarify how the depth is calculated.<br />
<br />
Tested with the syzkaller repro.c and xfstests &#39;-g quick&#39;.
