[12/90] hfs: fix a potential buffer overflow

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Dec 16 2009 - 20:48:16 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Amerigo Wang <amwang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ec81aecb29668ad71f699f4e7b96ec46691895b6 upstream.

A specially-crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem could cause
a buffer overflow to occur in a process's kernel stack during a memcpy()
call within the hfs_bnode_read() function (at fs/hfs/bnode.c:24). The
attacker can provide the source buffer and length, and the destination
buffer is a local variable of a fixed length. This local variable (passed
as "&entry" from fs/hfs/dir.c:112 and allocated on line 60) is stored in
the stack frame of hfs_bnode_read()'s caller, which is hfs_readdir().
Because the hfs_readdir() function executes upon any attempt to read a
directory on the filesystem, it gets called whenever a user attempts to
inspect any filesystem contents.
