In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: bound uniname advance in exfat_find_dir_entry()
In exfat_find_dir_entry(), each TYPE_EXTEND (file name) entry advances the
output pointer by a fixed amount while the loop guard only tracks the
accumulated name length:
if (++order == 2)
uniname = p_uniname->name;
else
uniname += EXFAT_FILE_NAME_LEN;
len = exfat_extract_uni_name(ep, entry_uniname);
name_len += len;
unichar = *(uniname+len);
*(uniname+len) = 0x0;
uniname grows by EXFAT_FILE_NAME_LEN (15) per name entry, but name_len
grows only by the actual extracted length, which is shorter when a name
fragment contains an early NUL. The only guard is
name_len >= MAX_NAME_LENGTH, so a crafted directory with many short
name fragments lets uniname run far past the
p_uniname->name[MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 3] buffer while name_len stays small,
causing an out-of-bounds read and write at *(uniname+len).
The sibling extractor exfat_get_uniname_from_ext_entry() already stops
on a short fragment (the lockstep len != EXFAT_FILE_NAME_LEN guard
added in commit d42334578eba ("exfat: check if filename entries exceeds
max filename length")); exfat_find_dir_entry() never got the
equivalent. Track the per-entry write offset as a count and reject a
fragment once the offset, or the offset plus the extracted length, would
exceed MAX_NAME_LENGTH, before forming the output pointer.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's exFAT filesystem driver. A local attacker could create a specially crafted directory with malformed name fragments. When the kernel processes this directory, an out-of-bounds read and write can occur, potentially leading to a denial of service or system instability. This vulnerability arises from incorrect boundary checks during the processing of directory entries.
Отчет
This issue is triggered by a specially crafted disk image containing on-disk metadata inconsistencies. Exploitation requires that an attacker convince a user to download and use a malicious image from an untrusted source, a scenario with limited practical impact. Red Hat rates this as Low severity.
