| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix off by one issue in alloc_flex_gd()
Wesley reported an issue:
==================================================================
EXT4-fs (dm-5): resizing filesystem from 7168 to 786432 blocks
------------[ cut here ]------------

==================================================================
While reviewing the patch, Honza found that when adjusting resize_bg in
alloc_flex_gd(), it was possible for flex_gd->resize_bg to be bigger than
flexbg_size.
The reproduction of the problem requires the following:
o_group = flexbg_size * 2 * n;
o_size = (o_group + 1) * group_size;
n_group: [o_group + flexbg_size, o_group + flexbg_size * 2)
o_size = (n_group + 1) * group_size;
Take n=0,flexbg_size=16 as an example:
last:15
|o---------------|--------------n-|
o_group:0 resize to n_group:30
The corresponding reproducer is:
img=test.img
rm -f $img
truncate -s 600M $img
mkfs.ext4 -F $img -b 1024 -G 16 8M
dev=`losetup -f --show $img`
mkdir -p /tmp/test
mount $dev /tmp/test
resize2fs $dev 248M
Delete the problematic plus 1 to fix the issue, and add a WARN_ON_ONCE()
to prevent the issue from happening again.
[ Note: another reproucer which this commit fixes is:
img=test.img
rm -f $img
truncate -s 25MiB $img
mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E nodiscard,lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 $img
truncate -s 3GiB $img
dev=`losetup -f --show $img`
mkdir -p /tmp/test
mount $dev /tmp/test
resize2fs $dev 3G
umount $dev
losetup -d $dev
