[ Upstream commit 82ebecdc74ff555daf70b811d854b1f32a296bea ]

We found an infinite loop bug in the exFAT file system that can lead to a
Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. When a dentry in an exFAT filesystem is
malformed, the following system calls — SYS_openat, SYS_ftruncate, and
SYS_pwrite64 — can cause the kernel to hang.

Root cause analysis shows that the size validation code in exfat_find()
does not check whether dentry.stream.valid_size is negative. As a result,
the system calls mentioned above can succeed and eventually trigger the DoS
issue.

This patch adds a check for negative dentry.stream.valid_size to prevent
this vulnerability.

exfat: validate cluster allocation bits of the allocation bitmap 2025-11-13T20:37:33+00:00 Namjae Jeon linkinjeon@kernel.org 2025-08-30T05:44:35+00:00 13c1d24803d5b0446b3f6f0fdd67e07ac1fdc7bf [ Upstream commit 79c1587b6cda74deb0c86fc7ba194b92958c793c ] syzbot created an exfat image with cluster bits not set for the allocation bitmap. exfat-fs reads and uses the allocation bitmap without checking this.

fs: replace mmap hook with .mmap_prepare for simple mappings 2025-06-19T11:56:59+00:00 Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com 2025-06-16T19:33:29+00:00 2e3b37a7e48f8a52fb708cdbeec9d8af0a5af0c1 Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of f_op->mmap_prepare(). This callback is invoked in the mmap() logic far earlier, so error handling can be performed more safely without complicated and bug-prone state unwinding required should an error arise. This hook also avoids passing a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-established VMA avoiding any issues with referencing this data structure. It rather provides a pointer to the new struct vm_area_desc descriptor type which contains all required state and allows easy setting of required parameters without any consideration needing to be paid to locking or reference counts. Note that nested filesystems like overlayfs are compatible with an .mmap_prepare() callback since commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems"). In this patch we apply this change to file systems with relatively simple mmap() hook logic - exfat, ceph, f2fs, bcachefs, zonefs, btrfs, ocfs2, orangefs, nilfs2, romfs, ramfs and aio.

Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op->mmap_prepare().

This callback is invoked in the mmap() logic far earlier, so error handling
can be performed more safely without complicated and bug-prone state
unwinding required should an error arise.

This hook also avoids passing a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-established
VMA avoiding any issues with referencing this data structure.

It rather provides a pointer to the new struct vm_area_desc descriptor type
which contains all required state and allows easy setting of required
parameters without any consideration needing to be paid to locking or
reference counts.
