CVE-2024-57924
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: relax assertions on failure to encode file handles
Encoding file handles is usually performed by a filesystem >encode_fh() method that may fail for various reasons.
The legacy users of exportfs_encode_fh(), namely, nfsd and name_to_handle_at(2) syscall are ready to cope with the possibility of failure to encode a file handle.
There are a few other users of exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() that currently have a WARN_ON() assertion when ->encode_fh() fails. Relax those assertions because they are wrong.
The second linked bug report states commit 16aac5ad1fa9 ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles") in v6.6 as the regressing commit, but this is not accurate.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
The aforementioned commit only increases the chances of the assertion and allows triggering the assertion with the reproducer using overlayfs, inotify and drop_caches.
Triggering this assertion was always possible with other filesystems and other reasons of ->encode_fh() failures and more particularly, it was also possible with the exact same reproducer using overlayfs that is mounted with options index=on,nfs_export=on also on kernels < v6.6. Therefore, I am not listing the aforementioned commit as a Fixes commit.
Backport hint: this patch will have a trivial conflict applying to v6.6.y, and other trivial conflicts applying to stable kernels < v6.6.

Los usuarios heredados de exportfs_encode_fh(), es decir, nfsd y la llamada al sistema name_to_handle_at(2) están preparados para hacer frente a la posibilidad de un fallo en la codificación de un identificador de archivo. Hay algunos otros usuarios de exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() que actualmente tienen una aserción WARN_ON() cuando ->encode_fh() falla. Relajen esas aserciones porque son incorrectas. El segundo informe de error vinculado indica el commit 16aac5ad1fa9 (\"ovl: compatibilidad con la codificación de identificadores de archivos no decodificables\") en v6.6 como el commit regresiva, pero esto no es exacto. El commit mencionado anteriormente solo aumenta las posibilidades de la aserción y permite activar la aserción con el reproductor usando overlayfs, inotify y drop_caches. Activar esta aserción siempre fue posible con otros sistemas de archivos y otras razones de fallas de ->encode_fh() y, más particularmente, también fue posible con el mismo reproductor exacto usando overlayfs que está montado con las opciones index=on,nfs_export=on también en kernels < v6.6. Por lo tanto, no estoy listando el commit mencionado anteriormente como un commit de correcciones. Sugerencia de retroportación: este parche tendrá un conflicto trivial que se aplica a v6.6.y, y otros conflictos triviales que se aplican a kernels estables < v6.6."
