commit 3a4b77cd47bb837b8557595ec7425f281f2ca1fe upstream.

Ralf Spenneberg reported that he hit a kernel crash when mounting a
modified ext4 image. And it turns out that kernel crashed when
calculating fs overhead (ext4_calculate_overhead()), this is because
the image has very large s_first_meta_bg (debug code shows it's
842150400), and ext4 overruns the memory in count_overhead() when
setting bitmap buffer, which is PAGE_SIZE.

ext4_calculate_overhead():
  buf = get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS);  &lt;=== PAGE_SIZE buffer
  blks = count_overhead(sb, i, buf);

count_overhead():
  for (j = ext4_bg_num_gdb(sb, grp); j &gt; 0; j--) { &lt;=== j = 842150400
          ext4_set_bit(EXT4_B2C(sbi, s++), buf);   &lt;=== buffer overrun
          count++;
  }

This can be reproduced easily for me by this script:

  #!/bin/bash
  rm -f fs.img
  mkdir -p /mnt/ext4
  fallocate -l 16M fs.img
  mke2fs -t ext4 -O bigalloc,meta_bg,^resize_inode -F fs.img
  debugfs -w -R "ssv first_meta_bg 842150400" fs.img
  mount -o loop fs.img /mnt/ext4

Fix it by validating s_first_meta_bg first at mount time, and
refusing to mount if its value exceeds the largest possible meta_bg
number.

<title>ext4: do not perform data journaling when data is encrypted</title>

<id>3460edfc70c21998f13662dceee9a26bf697d2c3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 73b92a2a5e97d17cc4d5c4fe9d724d3273fb6fd2 upstream.

Currently data journalling is incompatible with encryption: enabling both
at the same time has never been supported by design, and would result in
unpredictable behavior. However, users are not precluded from turning on
both features simultaneously. This change programmatically replaces data
journaling for encrypted regular files with ordered data journaling mode.

Background:
Journaling encrypted data has not been supported because it operates on
buffer heads of the page in the page cache. Namely, when the commit
happens, which could be up to five seconds after caching, the commit
thread uses the buffer heads attached to the page to copy the contents of
the page to the journal. With encryption, it would have been required to
keep the bounce buffer with ciphertext for up to the aforementioned five
seconds, since the page cache can only hold plaintext and could not be
used for journaling. Alternatively, it would be required to setup the
journal to initiate a callback at the commit time to perform deferred
encryption - in this case, not only would the data have to be written
twice, but it would also have to be encrypted twice. This level of
complexity was not justified for a mode that in practice is very rarely
used because of the overhead from the data journalling.

Solution:
If data=journaled has been set as a mount option for a filesystem, or if
journaling is enabled on a regular file, do not perform journaling if the
file is also encrypted, instead fall back to the data=ordered mode for the
file.

Rationale:
The intent is to allow seamless and proper filesystem operation when
journaling and encryption have both been enabled, and have these two
conflicting features gracefully resolved by the filesystem.

commit 5aee0f8a3f42c94c5012f1673420aee96315925a upstream.

Fix a large number of problems with how we handle mount options in the
superblock.  For one, if the string in the superblock is long enough
that it is not null terminated, we could run off the end of the string
and try to interpret superblocks fields as characters.  It's unlikely
this will cause a security problem, but it could result in an invalid
parse.  Also, parse_options is destructive to the string, so in some
cases if there is a comma-separated string, it would be modified in
the superblock.  (Fortunately it only happens on file systems with a
1k block size.)

commit 30a9d7afe70ed6bd9191d3000e2ef1a34fb58493 upstream.

The number of 'counters' elements needed in 'struct sg' is
super_block-&gt;s_blocksize_bits + 2. Presently we have 16 'counters'
elements in the array. This is insufficient for block sizes &gt;= 32k. In
such cases the memcpy operation performed in ext4_mb_seq_groups_show()

'border' variable is set to a value of 2 times the block size of the

commit 8cdf3372fe8368f56315e66bea9f35053c418093 upstream.

If the block size or cluster size is insane, reject the mount.  This
is important for security reasons (although we shouldn't be just
depending on this check).
