[PATCH RFC 0/5] ubifs: Prevent memory oob accessing while dumping node

[Zhihao Cheng]

在 2020/6/16 15:11, Zhihao Cheng 写道:
> We use function ubifs_dump_node() to dump bad node caused by some
> reasons (Such as bit flipping caused by hardware error, writing bypass
> ubifs or unknown bugs in ubifs). The node content can not be trusted
> anymore, so we should prevent memory out-of-bounds accessing while
> dumping node in following situations:
> 
> 1. bad node_len: Dumping data according to 'ch->len' which may exceed
>     the size of memory allocated for node.
> 2. bad node content: Some kinds of node can record additional data, eg.
>     index node and orphan node, make sure the size of additional data
>     not beyond the node length.
> 3. node_type changes: Read data according to type A, but expected type
>     B, before that, node is allocated according to type B's size. Length
>     of type A node is greater than type B node.
> 
> Commit acc5af3efa303d5f3 ("ubifs: Fix out-of-bounds memory access caused
> by abnormal value of node_len") handles situation 1 for data node only,
> it would be better if we can solve problems in above situations for all
> kinds of nodes.
> 
> Patch 1 adds a new parameter 'node_len'(size of memory which is allocated
> for the node) in function ubifs_dump_node(), safe dumping length of the
> node should be: minimum(ch->len, c->ranges[node_type].max_len, node_len).
> Besides, c->ranges[node_type].min_len can not greater than safe dumping
> length, which may caused by node_type changes(situation 3).
> 
> Patch 2 reverts commit acc5af3efa303d5f ("ubifs: Fix out-of-bounds memory
> access caused by abnormal value of node_len") to prepare for patch 3.
> 
> Patch 3 replaces modified function ubifs_dump_node() in all node dumping
> places except for ubifs_dump_sleb().
> 
> Patch 4 removes unused function ubifs_dump_sleb(),
> 
> Patch 5 allows ubifs_dump_node() to dump all branches of the index node.

>    Revert "ubifs: Fix out-of-bounds memory access caused by abnormal
>      value of node_len"
>    ubifs: Pass node length in all node dumping callers
>    ubifs: ubifs_dump_sleb: Remove unused function
>    ubifs: ubifs_dump_node: Dump all branches of the index node

ping, although it is not a serious problem for ubifs, but dumping extra 
memory by formating specified ubifs img may cause security problem.
