In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: validate directory-index entry counts when reading metadata
ocfs2_validate_dx_leaf() and ocfs2_validate_dx_root() check the ECC and
signature of an indexed-directory block before it reaches higher-level
callers, but neither validator bounds the ocfs2_dx_entry_list counts
against the capacity of the block that holds them.
ocfs2_dx_dir_search() then walks
for (i = 0; i < le16_to_cpu(entry_list->de_num_used); i++)
dx_entry = &entry_list->de_entries[i];
over de_num_used entries with no bounds check. entry_list is either
dx_leaf->dl_list (from ocfs2_read_dx_leaf) or, for an inline root,
dx_root->dr_entries. A crafted on-disk image can set de_num_used (and
de_count, which is the __counted_by_le() bound of de_entries) to 0xffff
and make the walk read far past the end of the 4KB metadata block, giving
a slab out-of-bounds read reachable from any path lookup, stat() or open()
on an indexed directory once the image is mounted.
Commit 775c17386a6f ("ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during
block read") already bounds dr_list for the non-inline dx_root, but left
the inline dr_entries path and the dx_leaf dl_list unchecked. Add the
same read-time validation for both entry lists: de_count must equal the
capacity of the block (ocfs2_dx_entries_per_leaf()/per_root()) and
de_num_used must not exceed de_count, rejecting corrupted metadata with
-EFSCORRUPTED before ocfs2_dx_dir_search() can walk an out-of-range entry
array.
de_count is always written as exactly the block capacity when a leaf or
inline root is formatted, so the equality check does not reject any valid
image.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OCFS2 filesystem. A local attacker with the ability to mount a crafted on-disk image could exploit this vulnerability by providing excessive directory-index entry counts when reading metadata. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read, potentially causing information disclosure or a system crash.
