a disk image that causes a buffer overflow during tasting, due to unexpected FFS superblock content

ffs_sbget() allocates fs->fs_cssize bytes to hold fs_csp:

        size = fs->fs_cssize;
        ...
        if ((space = UFS_MALLOC(size, filltype, M_WAITOK)) == NULL) {

but it can copy a whole fragment into that space:

        for (i = 0; i < blks; i += fs->fs_frag) {
                ...;
                        size = (blks - i) * fs->fs_fsize;
                ...;
                error = (*readfunc)(devfd,
                    dbtob(fsbtodb(fs, fs->fs_csaddr + i)), (void **)&buf, size);
                ...;
                memcpy(space, buf, size);

If fs_cssize is smaller than fs_fsize, the memcpy() can write
attacker-supplied bytes beyond the end of space.

I've attached a disk image containing garbage that looks enough like
FFS for taste to proceed, with fs_cssize = 16 and fs_fsize = 5120.

Comment 2 Kirk McKusick freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-05-12 16:22:23 UTC
Thanks for your report. Normally the superblock check hash would detect the corruption, but of course a hacker could update the chcek hash after corrupting the superblock.

Let me know if the attached patch solves this problem.
Comment 3 Robert Morris 2022-05-12 16:51:07 UTC
(In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #2)
Yes -- your patch makes the problem go away for me.

Thanks for the followup. Based on your other reported superblock corruption bugs, I believe that the correct fix is to put in a more complete set of superblock integrity checks. I will get back to you with that change in the hopes that it will cover all your submitted superblock related corruption reports.
Comment 5 Kirk McKusick freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-05-16 00:16:40 UTC
Please check to see if my proposed change in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35219 resolves this bug. Based on your testing of my first proposed fix, it should.
Comment 6 Robert Morris 2022-05-18 09:23:55 UTC
(In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #5)
Yes -- your validate_sblock() of Apr 12 makes this problem go away.
Comment 7 Kirk McKusick freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-05-21 23:26:19 UTC
(In reply to Robert Morris from comment #6)
Could you recheck with my updated patch of May 21 to ensure my relaxed checks did not reopen the vulnerability.
Comment 8 Robert Morris 2022-05-22 19:18:12 UTC
(In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #7)
Yes -- your patch of May 21 makes this problem go away for me.
Comment 9 Kirk McKusick freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-05-27 19:27:41 UTC
Fixed by https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35219

Will close when MFC'ed to 13.
