In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs,hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in hugetlbs_fill_super
When configuring a hugetlb filesystem via the fsconfig() syscall, there is
a possible NULL dereference in hugetlbfs_fill_super() caused by assigning
NULL to ctx->hstate in hugetlbfs_parse_param() when the requested pagesize
is non valid.
E.g: Taking the following steps:
fd = fsopen("hugetlbfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pagesize", "1024", 0);
fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);
Given that the requested "pagesize" is invalid, ctxt->hstate will be replaced
with NULL, losing its previous value, and we will print an error:
...
...
case Opt_pagesize:
ps = memparse(param->string, &rest);
ctx->hstate = h;
if (!ctx->hstate) {
pr_err("Unsupported page size %lu MB\n", ps / SZ_1M);
return -EINVAL;
}
return 0;
...
...
This is a problem because later on, we will dereference ctxt->hstate in
hugetlbfs_fill_super()
...
...
sb->s_blocksize = huge_page_size(ctx->hstate);
...
...
Causing below Oops.
Fix this by replacing cxt->hstate value only when then pagesize is known
to be valid.
