commit 06f29cc81f0350261f59643a505010531130eea0 upstream.

In the function __ext4_grp_locked_error(), __save_error_info()
is called to save error info in super block block, but does not sync
that information to disk to info the subsequence fsck after reboot.

This patch writes the error information to disk.  After this patch,
I think there is no obvious EXT4 error handle branches which leads to
"Remounting filesystem read-only" will leave the disk partition miss
the subsequence fsck.

commit 22be37acce25d66ecf6403fc8f44df9c5ded2372 upstream.

Currently in ext4_valid_block_bitmap() we expect the bitmap to be
positioned anywhere between 0 and s_blocksize clusters, but that's
wrong because the bitmap can be placed anywhere in the block group. This
causes false positives when validating bitmaps on perfectly valid file
system layouts. Fix it by checking whether the bitmap is within the group
boundary.

The problem can be reproduced using the following

mkfs -t ext3 -E stride=256 /dev/vdb1
mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt/test
cd /mnt/test
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.16.3.tar.xz
tar xf linux-4.16.3.tar.xz

This will result in the warnings in the logs

EXT4-fs error (device vdb1): ext4_validate_block_bitmap:399: comm tar: bg 84: block 2774529: invalid block bitmap

commit 7dac4a1726a9c64a517d595c40e95e2d0d135f6f upstream.

An privileged attacker can cause a crash by mounting a crafted ext4
image which triggers a out-of-bounds read in the function
ext4_valid_block_bitmap() in fs/ext4/balloc.c.

This issue has been assigned CVE-2018-1093.

commit e674e5cbd0942b42a12106ac0be8330f4301bef4 upstream.

On a bigalloc,^flex_bg filesystem, the ext4_valid_block_bitmap
function fails to convert from blocks to clusters when spot-checking
the validity of the bitmap block that we've just read from disk.  This
causes ext4 to think that the bitmap is garbage, which results in the
block group being taken offline when it's not necessary.  Add in the
necessary EXT4_B2C() calls to perform the conversions.

commit 8e4b5eae5decd9dfe5a4ee369c22028f90ab4c44 upstream.

If the root directory has an i_links_count of zero, then when the file
system is mounted, then when ext4_fill_super() notices the problem and
tries to call iput() the root directory in the error return path,
ext4_evict_inode() will try to free the inode on disk, before all of
the file system structures are set up, and this will result in an OOPS
caused by a NULL pointer dereference.

This issue has been assigned CVE-2018-1092.

commit 9d5afec6b8bd46d6ed821aa1579634437f58ef1f upstream.

On a ppc64 machine, when mounting a fuzzed ext2 image (generated by
fsfuzzer) the following call trace is seen,

VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6913 at /root/repos/linux/fs/buffer.c:1165 .__brelse.part.6+0x24/0x40

.vfs_statx+0x98/0x140

This happens because the directory that ext4_find_entry() looks up has
inode-&gt;i_size that is less than the block size of the filesystem. This
causes 'nblocks' to have a value of zero. ext4_bread_batch() ends up not
reading any of the directory file's blocks. This renders the entries in
bh_use[] array to continue to have garbage data. buffer_uptodate() on
bh_use[0] can then return a zero value upon which brelse() function is
invoked.

This commit fixes the bug by returning -ENOENT when the directory file
has no associated blocks.

commit 3a4b77cd47bb837b8557595ec7425f281f2ca1fe upstream.

Ralf Spenneberg reported that he hit a kernel crash when mounting a
modified ext4 image. And it turns out that kernel crashed when
calculating fs overhead (ext4_calculate_overhead()), this is because
the image has very large s_first_meta_bg (debug code shows it's
842150400), and ext4 overruns the memory in count_overhead() when
setting bitmap buffer, which is PAGE_SIZE.

ext4_calculate_overhead():
  buf = get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS);  &lt;=== PAGE_SIZE buffer
  blks = count_overhead(sb, i, buf);

count_overhead():
  for (j = ext4_bg_num_gdb(sb, grp); j &gt; 0; j--) { &lt;=== j = 842150400
          ext4_set_bit(EXT4_B2C(sbi, s++), buf);   &lt;=== buffer overrun
          count++;
  }

This can be reproduced easily for me by this script:

  #!/bin/bash
  rm -f fs.img
  mkdir -p /mnt/ext4
  fallocate -l 16M fs.img
  mke2fs -t ext4 -O bigalloc,meta_bg,^resize_inode -F fs.img
  debugfs -w -R "ssv first_meta_bg 842150400" fs.img
  mount -o loop fs.img /mnt/ext4

Fix it by validating s_first_meta_bg first at mount time, and
refusing to mount if its value exceeds the largest possible meta_bg
number.

  fallocate -l 16M fs.img
  mke2fs -t ext4 -O bigalloc,meta_bg,^resize_inode -F fs.img
  debugfs -w -R "ssv first_meta_bg 842150400" fs.img
  mount -o loop fs.img /mnt/ext4

Fix it by validating s_first_meta_bg first at mount time, and
refusing to mount if its value exceeds the largest possible meta_bg
number.

commit a3bb2d5587521eea6dab2d05326abb0afb460abd upstream.

When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit
set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to
the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default
ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on
'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group.

Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of
__ext4_set_acl() into ext4_set_acl(). That way the function will not be
called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID
bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create()
anyway.

<title>ext4: preserve i_mode if __ext4_set_acl() fails</title>

commit 397e434176bb62bc6068d2210af1d876c6212a7e upstream.

When changing a file's acl mask, __ext4_set_acl() will first set the group
bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the actual
extended attribute representing the new acl.

If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the file
had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on assume
that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits, potentially
granting access to the wrong users.

Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.
