Max directory size of FAT filesystem is FAT_MAX_DIR_SIZE(2097152 bytes) It is possible that, due to corruption, directory size calculated in fat_calc_dir_size() can be greater than FAT_MAX_DIR_SIZE, i.e. can be in GBs, hence directory traversal can take long time. for example when command "ls -lR" is executed on corrupted FAT formatted USB, fat_search_long() function will lookup for a filename from position 0 till end of corrupted directory size, multiple such lookups will lead to long directory traversal
Added sanity check for directory size fat_calc_dir_size(), and return EIO error, which will prevent lookup in corrupted directory Signed-off-by: Anupam Aggarwal <anupam...@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Amit Sahrawat <a.sahra...@samsung.com> --- fs/fat/inode.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/fat/inode.c b/fs/fat/inode.c index a0cf99d..9b2e81e 100644 --- a/fs/fat/inode.c +++ b/fs/fat/inode.c @@ -490,6 +490,13 @@ static int fat_calc_dir_size(struct inode *inode) return ret; inode->i_size = (fclus + 1) << sbi->cluster_bits; + if (i_size_read(inode) > FAT_MAX_DIR_SIZE) { + fat_fs_error(inode->i_sb, + "%s corrupted directory (invalid size %lld)\n", + __func__, i_size_read(inode)); + return -EIO; + } + return 0; } -- 1.9.1
