Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow<br />
<br />
If the set received ioctl fails due to an item overflow when attempting to<br />
add the BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL we have to abort the transaction<br />
since we did some metadata updates before.<br />
<br />
This means that if a user calls this ioctl with the same received UUID<br />
field for a lot of subvolumes, we will hit the overflow, trigger the<br />
transaction abort and turn the filesystem into RO mode. A malicious user<br />
could exploit this, and this ioctl does not even requires that a user<br />
has admin privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMIN), only that he/she owns the subvolume.<br />
<br />
Fix this by doing an early check for item overflow before starting a<br />
transaction. This is also race safe because we are holding the subvol_sem<br />
semaphore in exclusive (write) mode.<br />
<br />
A test case for fstests will follow soon.
