FKIE_CVE-2025-39735

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-04-18 07:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:18
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jfs: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in ea_get() During the "size_check" label in ea_get(), the code checks if the extended attribute list (xattr) size matches ea_size. If not, it logs "ea_get: invalid extended attribute" and calls print_hex_dump(). Here, EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf->xattr) returns 4110417968, which exceeds INT_MAX (2,147,483,647). Then ea_size is clamped: int size = clamp_t(int, ea_size, 0, EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf->xattr)); Although clamp_t aims to bound ea_size between 0 and 4110417968, the upper limit is treated as an int, causing an overflow above 2^31 - 1. This leads "size" to wrap around and become negative (-184549328). The "size" is then passed to print_hex_dump() (called "len" in print_hex_dump()), it is passed as type size_t (an unsigned type), this is then stored inside a variable called "int remaining", which is then assigned to "int linelen" which is then passed to hex_dump_to_buffer(). In print_hex_dump() the for loop, iterates through 0 to len-1, where len is 18446744073525002176, calling hex_dump_to_buffer() on each iteration: for (i = 0; i < len; i += rowsize) { linelen = min(remaining, rowsize); remaining -= rowsize; hex_dump_to_buffer(ptr + i, linelen, rowsize, groupsize, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf), ascii); ... } The expected stopping condition (i < len) is effectively broken since len is corrupted and very large. This eventually leads to the "ptr+i" being passed to hex_dump_to_buffer() to get closer to the end of the actual bounds of "ptr", eventually an out of bounds access is done in hex_dump_to_buffer() in the following for loop: for (j = 0; j < len; j++) { if (linebuflen < lx + 2) goto overflow2; ch = ptr[j]; ... } To fix this we should validate "EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf->xattr)" before it is utilised.

      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: jfs: correcci\u00f3n de lectura fuera de los l\u00edmites de slab en ea_get(). Durante la etiqueta \"size_check\" en ea_get(), el c\u00f3digo comprueba si el tama\u00f1o de la lista de atributos extendidos (xattr) coincide con ea_size. De lo contrario, registra \"ea_get: atributo extendido no v\u00e1lido\" y llama a print_hex_dump(). En este caso, EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf-\u0026gt;xattr) devuelve 4110417968, que excede INT_MAX (2147483647). A continuaci\u00f3n, se fija ea_size: int size = clamp_t(int, ea_size, 0, EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf-\u0026gt;xattr)); Aunque clamp_t busca limitar ea_size entre 0 y 4110417968, el l\u00edmite superior se trata como un entero, lo que provoca un desbordamiento por encima de 2^31 - 1. Esto hace que \"size\" se repita y se vuelva negativo (-184549328). El \"size\" se pasa a print_hex_dump() (llamado \"len\" en print_hex_dump()) como tipo size_t (un tipo sin signo). Este se almacena en una variable llamada \"int remaining\", que se asigna a \"int linelen\", que a su vez se pasa a hex_dump_to_buffer(). En print_hex_dump(), el bucle for itera desde 0 hasta len-1, donde len es 18446744073525002176 y llama a hex_dump_to_buffer() en cada iteraci\u00f3n: for (i = 0; i \u0026lt; len; i += rowsize) { linelen = min(remaining, rowsize); remaining -= rowsize; hex_dump_to_buffer(ptr + i, linelen, rowsize, groupsize, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf), ascii); ... } La condici\u00f3n de detenci\u00f3n esperada (i \u0026lt; len) se rompe efectivamente ya que len est\u00e1 da\u00f1ado y es muy grande. Esto eventualmente lleva a que \"ptr+i\" se pase a hex_dump_to_buffer() para acercarse al final de los l\u00edmites reales de \"ptr\", eventualmente se realiza un acceso fuera de los l\u00edmites en hex_dump_to_buffer() en el siguiente bucle for: for (j = 0; j \u0026lt; len; j++) { if (linebuflen \u0026lt; lx + 2) goto overflow2; ch = ptr[j]; ... } Para solucionar esto debemos validar \"EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf-\u0026gt;xattr)\" antes de utilizarlo."
