Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
hfsplus: don&#39;t query the device logical block size multiple times<br />
<br />
Devices block sizes may change. One of these cases is a loop device by<br />
using ioctl LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE.<br />
<br />
While this may cause other issues like IO being rejected, in the case of<br />
hfsplus, it will allocate a block by using that size and potentially write<br />
out-of-bounds when hfsplus_read_wrapper calls hfsplus_submit_bio and the<br />
latter function reads a different io_size.<br />
<br />
Using a new min_io_size initally set to sb_min_blocksize works for the<br />
purposes of the original fix, since it will be set to the max between<br />
HFSPLUS_SECTOR_SIZE and the first seen logical block size. We still use the<br />
max between HFSPLUS_SECTOR_SIZE and min_io_size in case the latter is not<br />
initialized.<br />
<br />
Tested by mounting an hfsplus filesystem with loop block sizes 512, 1024<br />
and 4096.<br />
<br />
The produced KASAN report before the fix looks like this:<br />
