Title
udf: Do not bother merging very long extents
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: Do not bother merging very long extents When merging very long extents we try to push as much length as possible to the first extent. However this is unnecessarily complicated and not really worth the trouble. Furthermore there was a bug in the logic resulting in corrupting extents in the file as syzbot reproducer shows. So just don't bother with the merging of extents that are too long together.

No race, no memory-layout luck, no rare config (CONFIG_UDF_FS is enabled/modular in essentially all distro kernels and autoloads on mount).\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user with write access to a mounted read-write UDF filesystem (a UDF-formatted USB stick or DVD-RAM auto-mounted by udisks2, or any UDF partition) can trigger it with plain truncate()/write() calls \u2014 no capability is checked anywhere on the path. The alternative crafted-image route (syzbot\u0027s) needs mount privileges, so the unprivileged write path is the more severe and still fully defensible framing.\nUI:N - In the unprivileged-write scenario the attacker performs everything themselves on an already-mounted filesystem; no victim has to mount anything, open a file, or take any other action.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority \u2014 the UDF inode metadata and the block device backing it \u2014 and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The botched arithmetic carries into the extent type field, converting a hole extent into EXT_NEXT_EXTENT_ALLOCDESCS (or EXT_RECORDED_ALLOCATED) pointing at an attacker-influenced partition block, so udf_next_aext follows it and udf_current_aext parses it with an entirely unvalidated lengthAllocDescs (the same defect later assigned CVE-2025-40044) \u2014 yielding out-of-bounds reads of kernel slab memory past the buffer_head and a file that maps arbitrary blocks of the device, exposing other users\u0027 file data and filesystem metadata.\nI:H - The corrupted extents are persisted to disk by udf_update_extents/udf_write_aext, giving the file write access to blocks it does not own, and the same paths call udf_free_blocks() with lengths derived from the corrupted extents \u2014 freeing in-use blocks of other files so they get handed out again, producing arbitrary cross-file and metadata corruption from an unprivileged user.\nA:H - Walking the type-confused extent list drives the kernel into the indirect-extent handling in udf_truncate_extents(), which contains BUG_ON(!epos.bh) and BUG() sites, and the inflated extent lengths desynchronize i_lenExtents from i_size, causing oopses, bitmap corruption, and an unusable filesystem."
