In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix xattr replace when multiple xattrs are packed in the same item If we have a btrfs_dir_item item that packs multiple xattrs and then we replace the value of one of them (with the setxattr(2) family of syscalls) with another value of a different size, we end up not having a fully initialized btrfs_dir_item, resulting in a corruption that the tree checker will detect at extent buffer writeback time. This is because in btrfs_setxattr() when we find a btrfs_dir_item with multiple xattrs (due to the crc32c hash of their name being the same) we delete one of the xattr items (btrfs_dir_item) and then insert a new one, but the deletion and insertion results in shifting existing data in the leaf and therefore when the new value of a xattr has a different size, the new btrfs_dir_item is placed in a leaf section that was not initialized and we only copy the value's data and set the value's length in the new btrfs_dir_item, without setting the name, the name's length, the key (which must be all zeroes for xattrs), flags (BTRFS_FT_XATTR) and transaction ID. The following script reproduces the issue: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdi MNT=/mnt/sdi mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV mount $DEV $MNT touch $MNT/testfile
Add two xattrs that, on btrfs, have the same hash (crc32c) for their
name and therefore are packed into the same btrfs_dir_item.
setfattr -n user.foobar -v 123 $MNT/testfile setfattr -n user.WvG1c1Td -v qwerty $MNT/testfile
Verify the xattrs are present.
echo "xattrs before:" getfattr --absolute-names --dump $MNT/testfile
Now replace the value of the foobar xattr with a significantly larger
value.
setfattr -n user.foobar -v abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz $MNT/testfile
Check the xattrs have the expected values.
echo "xattrs after:" getfattr --absolute-names --dump $MNT/testfile umount $MNT Running it: $ ./test.sh (...) xattrs before:
file: /mnt/sdi/testfile
user.WvG1c1Td="qwerty" user.foobar="123" xattrs after:
file: /mnt/sdi/testfile
user.WvG1c1Td="qwerty"
So the "user.foobar" xattr is missing and there was a transaction abort
when unmounting the fs with the following traces in dmesg:
$ dmesg

---truncated---
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Btrfs file system. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) and file system corruption by replacing an extended attribute (xattr) with a value of a different size on files where multiple attributes share the same directory item. Because the kernel fails to fully initialize the newly relocated attribute item, subsequent writeback operations fail consistency checks and force a transaction abort.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation is restricted to local authenticated users with write permissions on an active Btrfs volume, limiting the blast radius to localized denial of service and filesystem corruption rather than arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation. Additionally, Btrfs is not configured as the default filesystem on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and has been deprecated or removed in recent major versions, meaning standard installations do not expose this attack surface unless non-standard storage configurations are specifically deployed.
