Subject: [PATCH] fs/partitions/efi.c: corrupted GUID partition tables can
|
|
cause kernel oops
|
|
|
|
commit 3eb8e74ec72736b9b9d728bad30484ec89c91dde upstream.
|
|
|
|
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
|
|
The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains
|
|
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition
|
|
tables.
|
|
|
|
This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to
|
|
prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting
|
|
the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death").
|
|
|
|
crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size));
|
|
|
|
computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes.
|
|
There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call.
|
|
|
|
A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size.
|
|
In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory
|
|
allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow.
|
|
|
|
Validate value of GUID partition table header size.
