Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
isofs: validate block number from NFS file handle in isofs_export_iget<br />
<br />
isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent() pass an attacker-<br />
controlled block number (ifid->block or ifid->parent_block) from<br />
the NFS file handle to isofs_export_iget(), which only rejects<br />
block == 0 before calling isofs_iget() and ultimately sb_bread().<br />
A crafted file handle with fh_len sufficient to pass the check<br />
added by commit 0405d4b63d08 ("isofs: Prevent the use of too small<br />
fid") can still drive the server to read any in-range block on the<br />
backing device as if it were an iso_directory_record. That earlier<br />
fix was assigned CVE-2025-37780.<br />
<br />
sb_bread() on an out-of-range block returns NULL cleanly via the<br />
EIO path, so there is no memory-safety violation. For in-range<br />
reads of adjacent-partition data on the same block device, the<br />
unrelated bytes end up in iso_inode_info fields that reach the NFS<br />
client as dentry metadata. The deployment surface (isofs exported<br />
over NFS from loop-mounted images) is narrow and requires an<br />
authenticated NFS peer, but the malformed-file-handle class is<br />
reportable as hardening next to the existing CVE-2025-37780 fix.<br />
<br />
Reject block >= ISOFS_SB(sb)->s_nzones in isofs_export_iget() so<br />
the check covers both isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent()<br />
call sites with a single line.
