hfsplus: fix uninit-value by validating catalog record size

2026-06-19T11:21:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit b6b592275aeff184aa82fcf6abccd833fb71b393 ] Syzbot reported a KMSAN uninit-value issue in hfsplus_strcasecmp(). The root cause is that hfs_brec_read() doesn't validate that the on-disk record size matches the expected size for the record type being read. When mounting a corrupted filesystem, hfs_brec_read() may read less data than expected. For example, when reading a catalog thread record, the debug output showed: HFSPLUS_BREC_READ: rec_len=520, fd->entrylength=26 HFSPLUS_BREC_READ: WARNING - entrylength (26) < rec_len (520) - PARTIAL READ! hfs_brec_read() only validates that entrylength is not greater than the buffer size, but doesn't check if it's less than expected. It successfully reads 26 bytes into a 520-byte structure and returns success, leaving 494 bytes uninitialized. This uninitialized data in tmp.thread.nodeName then gets copied by hfsplus_cat_build_key_uni() and used by hfsplus_strcasecmp(), triggering the KMSAN warning when the uninitialized bytes are used as array indices in case_fold(). Fix by introducing hfsplus_brec_read_cat() wrapper that: 1. Calls hfs_brec_read() to read the data 2. Validates the record size based on the type field: - Fixed size for folder and file records - Variable size for thread records (depends on string length) 3. Returns -EIO if size doesn't match expected For thread records, check against HFSPLUS_MIN_THREAD_SZ before reading nodeName.length to avoid reading uninitialized data at call sites that don't zero-initialize the entry structure. Also initialize the tmp variable in hfsplus_find_cat() as defensive programming to ensure no uninitialized data even if validation is bypassed.

hfsplus: fix volume corruption issue for generic/073

The test is doing these steps on final phase: mv $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2/bar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1 $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo So, we move file bar from testdir_1 into testdir_2 folder. It means that HFS+ logic decrements the number of entries in testdir_1 and increments number of entries in testdir_2. Finally, we do fsync only for testdir_1 and foo but not for testdir_2. As a result, this is the reason why fsck.hfsplus detects the volume corruption afterwards. This patch fixes the issue by means of adding the hfsplus_cat_write_inode() call for old_dir and new_dir in hfsplus_rename() after the successful ending of hfsplus_rename_cat(). This method makes modification of in-core inode objects for old_dir and new_dir but it doesn't save these modifications in Catalog File's entries. It was expected that hfsplus_write_inode() will save these modifications afterwards. However, because generic/073 does fsync only for testdir_1 and foo then testdir_2 modification hasn't beed saved into Catalog File's entry and it was flushed without this modification. And it was detected by fsck.hfsplus. Now, hfsplus_rename() stores in Catalog File all modified entries and correct state of Catalog File will be flushed during hfsplus_file_fsync() call. Finally, it makes fsck.hfsplus happy. sudo ./check generic/073 FSTYP -- hfsplus PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 hfsplus-testing-0001 6.18.0-rc3+ #93 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Nov 12 14:37:49 PST 2025 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/loop51 /mnt/scratch generic/073 32s ... 32s Ran: generic/073 Passed all 1 tests Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko cc: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz cc: Yangtao Li cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251112232522.814038-1-slava@dubeyko.com Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

hfsplus: return file attributes on statx

2019-01-04T21:13:47+00:00

The immutable, append-only and no-dump attributes can only be retrieved with an ioctl; implement the ->getattr() method to return them on statx. Do not return the inode birthtime yet, because the issue of how best to handle the post-2038 timestamps is still under discussion. This patch is needed to pass xfstests generic/424.

hfsplus: fix NULL dereference in hfsplus_lookup()

2018-08-24T01:48:42+00:00

An HFS+ filesystem can be mounted read-only without having a metadata directory, which is needed to support hardlinks. But if the catalog data is corrupted, a directory lookup may still find dentries claiming to be hardlinks. hfsplus_lookup() does check that ->hidden_dir is not NULL in such a situation, but mistakenly does so after dereferencing it for the first time. Reorder this check to prevent a crash. This happens when looking up corrupted catalog data (dentry) on a filesystem with no metadata directory (this could only ever happen on a read-only mount). Wen Xu sent the replication steps in detail to the fsdevel list: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200297 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180712215344.q44dyrhymm4ajkao@eaf Signed-off-by: Ernesto A.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
